Vinification & Maturation

All of our red wine goes more or less through the same old fashion methode, with no big intervention in the process, we let nature do their job. Maceration is depending on the year, but generally it lasts from 10 – 30 days. months in oak barrels. Before we are bottling the wine it will be decanted for two months in a stainless steel tank.

We use yeast from the vineyard to start fermentation (spontaneous fermentation). After fermentation we continue malolactic fermentation with intense batonnage for 6 - 9 months in oak barrels, with no sulfite. The maturation process continues for 18-20.
