Viticulture & Winemaking

HARVEST: Manual, by successive selective pickings (tries).

YIELD: 30 hl/ha.

SORTING: In the vineyard and at the winery.

WINEMAKING: Upon arrival at the winery, grapes are cooled before undergoing direct pressing. The resulting must is transferred to stainless steel vats for the start of alcoholic fermentation. After a few days, fermentation is stopped by fortification (mutage - addition of 96% vol. neutral spirit), neutralizing the yeast to preserve the natural sugars.

AGING: After racking, short aging in vats.

BOTTLING: After light filtration.

CLOSURE: Natural cork.

Sommelier's Note

"Purely for pleasure... candied pear, honey, garrigue, with a hint of anise—a real treat! Serve it chilled (8-10°C); it is a dessert all in itself..."
