Presentation
Terroir
The majority of the vines are planted on steep slopes. The soil is composed of light schist and gneiss on a granite base. The climate is hot and dry in summer and mild during the other seasons. Syrah finds its perfect balance on this terroir as the poor soils limit yield, and therefore favour the complexity of this great variety.
Winemaking
The grapes are de-stemmed and crushed before being cold-soaked for a gentle and short maceration. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in concrete or stainless steel vats, at 26°- 28°C, to preserve maximum fruit, with daily pump-overs and some releases
Ageing
The malolactic fermentation is followed by ageing in 100 year old oak vats for 6 to 12 months.
