Grapes
undergo a traditional wine-making process by
direct
pressing. The alcoholic fermentation in thermo-regulated
vats is carried out at 18°C for 17 days
for a better concentration of aromas. The
malo-lactic fermentation
is blocked at 5°C for one month before undergoing 3
bottlings and filtrations.
The Cuvée Les Restanques is
then matured in vats for 6 to 9 months before bottling.
Between February and March, a last plate filtration allows
the wine to be clear.
As for the Cuvée Castrum, a
6 to 8 month maturing in oak barrels is needed. It combines
the subtle tannins of wood with the fruit of southern France.
Rolle is the main grape variety. |
