Year 2019 was defined by heat and drought. After 2018 with lots of rains, Nature seems to offset with hot days and our vines hardly resisted and followed its natural lifecycle. This vintage gave us lovely lush and deep wines.
The harvest took place on October 5th. We vat the grapes in a 1,500-litre stainless steel tank, without the addition of sulphur. After five days of maceration with their skins, spontaneous fermentation begins without the addition of selected yeasts. The total duration between fermentation and maceration, before and after fermentation, reaches 15 days.
We fill five French oak barrels with the resulting wine in the presence of fine lees. The malolactic fermentation took place in spring 2020, after which a racking is carried out. We keep the wine under surveillance with frequent tastings and controls, and wine racking is carried out when demanded. A total aging of 15 months is completed.
