VINIFICATION | Late harvest through the natural drying process of the grapes on the vine followed by dehydration in storage at a controlled temperature. Around mid-November, the grapes are finally pressed. It is a soft pressing with an average wine yield of around 50%. The fermentation takes place in terracotta amphorae where the juice must ferment slowly at about 20° C for 3 weeks; the process stops naturally so as to have a very high residual sugar (about 200 g/litre) combined with a high alcohol content. The wine rests for at least 12 months in French oak barriques. |
