in the vineyard : The trellised vines are farmed to international organic standards in deep, fertile, decomposed granite soils with a high percentage of clay. The
differences in altitude, aspect, solar radiation and wind exposure result in significant mesoclimate differences. Foliage and weeds are managed mechanically, creating favourable conditions for natural protection from disease. This avoids the need for environmentally damaging chemicals.

about the harvest: The organically grown grapes were hand harvested in the morning in 8kg lug boxes.

in the cellar : The grapes were cooled at the cellar before hand-sorting. No skin contact was given, and a low-intervention approach was used throughout
the winemaking process. The juice was fermented in stainless-steel tanks to retain fruit freshness. The wine spent 3 months on its gross lees to enhance its structure before bottling.
