Vineyards

Organic vineyards planted on granite and schist base, with a loam & clay structure. Average age of vines is 15 - 25 years.

Vintage

The 2022 agricultural year was a dry year. During the vegetative rest period (autumn-winter) and spring, there were mild temperatures and low precipitation values. In the vineyard, budbreak was early, as in the previous year, and moderate temperatures anticipated vegetative development. The very high temperatures and the lack of water in the summer contributed to distant maturation between the varieties, resulting in a precision harvest with a special focus on the expression of each variety. Vineyard with certified organic farming.

Winemaking

Grapes are de-stemmed, settled, followed by short skin maceration and pressing. 70% of the wine is fermented in stainless steel tanks and 30% in new American and French oak barrels. The wine is further aged for 6 months on fine lees.
