Hand-harvested into small trailers of 2,000 kgs; destalking followed by pre-fermentation cold maceration for one week at 8°c in stainless steel vats and fermentation with wild yeast at a maximum of 16°c; the malolactic fermentation takes place on the skins (time in tank 75 days) without sulphur; after pressing the wine is aged on its lees in used French-oak barrels for 11 months. After this time it is racked, lightly fined and bottled.

14.5º vol - 3.6 Ph - 6.2 At - 20 mg/SO2 .

Medium intense pretty cherry hue with violet rim. On the nose it is fresh and sweet in equal parts…. Hints of orange peel, subtle undertones of laurel and dill, red fruit (strawberries, redcurrants), blue flowers (lilac, violets), faintly lactic, reminiscent of blackcurrant yoghurt…. Lots of fun. In the mouth it is fleshy, with silky, polished tannins, a feeling of sweetness at the beginning, notes of pastries and spices, very long and both fresh and floral, with a silky and seductive aftertaste.
