How It Was Made:
Manual harvest on September 5th in 15 kg boxes. We made a selection of grapes in the vineyard. Direct entry to presses. Pressing of whole grapes with a 55% yield. Light racking. Spontaneous fermentation with autochthonous yeasts from the vineyard in the Mas’s garage. We controlled the temperature between 18 and 20 °C in a 2,000 liter French oak foudre, 1,000 liter amphora and two 500 L French oak barrels. Fermentations lasted between 15 and 22 days. It was aged for 8 months on its lees where the wine stabilizes slightly and gains volume. We did not stabilize or filter. We bottled on May 5, 2023. We keep the wine in bottle for a minimum of 9 months. We do not use any oenological additives at any stage of the process.
