Vinification

This wine has been elaborated with grapes from organic agriculture. The grapes, once harvested and removed from the stalk, undergo cold pre-fermentation (5°C) before alcoholic fermentation at low temperature in order to bring out the fruit aromas. Regular and short over-pumping allow to extract the tannins, the colour and the aromas. This method smoothes the aromas of a low tannin wine and obtains a lovely freshness and lightness. Finally, malolactic fermentation and ageing in tanks allow us to obtain a full-bodied wine.

Sensory characteristics

NOSE : Intense nose with morello cherry and red fruits such as raspberry or red currant.

Recommandations
