Harvest and Maturing

The base wine for the rosé is made from juice extraction (saignée). The grapes are harvested and processed separately according to variety and origin. The selective harvest of the ripe, healthy grapes is carried out exclusively by hand. In the cellar, the grapes are destemmed and lightly crushed. After a few hours on the skins, a part of the fresh must is racked off from the mash tanks. The must obtained in this way is naturally clarified by settling (sedimentation). To perserve a maximum of fruitness and freshness the fermentation takes place in stainless steel at low temperature. After fermentation, the young wines are racked off the full yeast, blended and allowed to rest on the fine yeast for around three months. The wine is then clarified/filtered and prepared for bottling.
