- Winemaking
-
The grape harvest is done manually using small containers. The grapes are carefully chosen and picked by the harvesters. When the crop arrives at the wine cellar the grapes are then vatted by gravity and are partially destemmed. The fermentation process takes place with natural yeasts. During the winemaking process a series of procedures take place: pigeages which is punching of the cap and remontages which is pumping over the fermenting wine from the bottom of the cask back to the top. A moderate temperature is maintained ensuring a gentle extraction of aromas and tannins. Depending on the wine tasting results, devatting takes place after 3 to 4 weeks.

- Ageing
-
2 years in oak barrels (volume of the barrel is 228 litres), (25 % new, made with fine grain French oak which has been dried for 4 years).

2012 Vintage
Tasted: Mar 2019
Still a bit young, but it was hard not to enjoy the bright, crisp red fruits, cracked pepper, earth and kiss of smoke. Polished and classy, this elegant, medium/full bodied, kirsch packed wine needs a few more years in the cellar before it really pops.
