TerroirThe vineyard plots are planted on schist, with layers of schist interspersed with sandstone, dating from the Ordovician period. This highly acidic soil retains water, forcing the roots to grow deep and allowing the vines to access concentrated, mineral-rich layers. Schist absorbs daytime heat and releases it at night, creating ideal ripening conditions.
VinificationEach vineyard plot was carefully harvested at peak ripeness and vinified individually to preserve its unique character.
Carefully destemmed, the grapes underwent a 48-hour cold pre-fermentation maceration, followed by a gentle, temperature-controlled alcoholic fermentation, finishing with a warm post-fermentation maceration to enhance color, structure, and aromatic complexity.
AgeingA portion of the blend was aged on fine lees in tank for 6 months, while the remainder matured in barrels, highlighting the wine’s minerality and enriching its fruit character and texture on the palate.
Winemaker's notesWith a deep, intense ruby hue, this wine unveils a refined and complex bouquet of black fruits, bay leaf, tapenade, and white pepper. The palate is rich and silky, offering pure, layered flavours of fresh red fruits and delicate spices, culminating in a mineral-driven finish.
