Grape & craft
The vineyards, with an average age of 30 years, are surrounded by forests and cultivated without chemical pesticides. They are situated between 300 and 400 meters above sea level on a clay and limestone soil, in a typically warm Mediterranean climate tempered by the higher altitude.
Harvesting takes place early, at the beginning of September. A short skin maceration of just 2.5 days, hence the name “Infusion de Grenache”, which results in a very bright color. This is followed by gentle pressing and fermentation in small concrete vats. The wine was bottled in February, with a production of around 12,000 bottles.
