Cuvée « EXPERIENCE » Rouge - 2022

« Clay limestone soils »
The harvest takes place late, between September 10 and October 10.
Nights are cooler in our area of ​​the Var hinterland and our vineyard is located at an altitude of 300 m.
The harvest is carried out mechanically overnight between 3 and 9 am in the morning.
Vines are very close to our winery which allows us to bring the grapes very quickly at pres-sing.
The skin maceration is rapid: from 3 to 6 maximum hours for grenaches and 1 hour for syrah for example.
The settling is carried out cold (between 8 and 12 ° C) for 48 to 72 hours.
The alcoholic fermentation is launched at 14 ° C and then thermoregulated between 16 and 18 ° C for about 10 days.
We then proceed to aging on fine lees in stainless steel and con-crete tanks for 2 months.
All tanks are then racked and filtered at the end of December.
Blends are carried out studiously in early January and the wine is ready to tasting around February 15.
