WORKING THE VINE
Since vintage 2016 we have chosen to convert our parcels of vines to
organic agriculture and to work with conviction in biodynamic growing
methods and plant-based treatments. The soils of all the parcels of the
domain are worked sparingly so as to maintain their microbiological life
systems. To improve the yield, once pruned our vines are de-budded
and thinned early, by hand. We may choose a green harvest.
HARVEST METHOD
Our grapes are bru-vested by band. The harvest is sorted on a vibrating
sorting table, and then by hand.
WINEMAKING PROCESS
The fermentation process begins using the naturally present yeast, following
a pre-fermentation cold maceration process. The extraction process
is gentle with little pigeage.
MAUTATION
Matured in oak barrels for 14-16 months.
BOTTLING
We bottle our wines ourselves on the estate, with no fining or filtration, and according to the lunar calendar, producing wonderfully clear wines with the best possible flavours.
