Treatment in the cellar
The grapes for this elegant and complex Chenin Blanc were lightly crushed and underwent a three-hour skin contact phase before being gently pressed in a traditional basket press. The juice obtained was treated with sulphite and left to rest for two days before being vinified 100% in French oak barrels and aged for nine months. During maturation, the lees were stirred regularly to achieve a fuller mouthfeel and perfect concentration in the wine. 15% of the barrels were new, while the remaining barrels were previously used. After maturation, the wine was lightly refined with natural bentonite clay and bottled unfiltered by hand.
