Our cellar is dug into natural rock in such a way that the wine moves successively deeper into the cellar as it goes from grape to bottling.
The wine-making process we use for our grapes follows
the traditions of our ancestors. White varieties
of grape are made into wine in the same way as
red.
Maceration: white
varieties 4 to 10 days, red varieties 10 to 20
days. During maceration we do not cool the grape
solids and we do not use enzymes.
Fermentation: without cooling
and without added sulfites, in barrels of 225
to 2000 liters, in an underground wine cellar. Wine
yeasts: we use
exclusively autochthonous
yeasts, without the addition of selected strains.
Aging: in new and used oaken
barrels (225-2000 l). The wine is kept on sediments
and without sulfites until the first decanting. Time
of aging: white wines - 2 to 3 years, red wines
- 4 to 5 years. Filtration: we
don't weaken our wines by filtering them.
The sediment which
may appear in a bottle of our wine is not considered
a defect. |
