Notes
VINEYARD: A mosaic of different terroirs: clay-limestone soil, river rocks, sandy soil. Mediterranean climate of hot, dry summers, little rainfall, and a lot of wind.

VINIFICATION: Certified Organic and Biodynamic agriculture. Yield: 45 hl/ha. Methods: gobelet pruning for the Grenache, with pruning of shoots ahead of time to limit yields, trellising for the Syrah. Harvest is entirely by hand with very careful sorting, cluster by cluster. Grapes are pneumatically pressed upon arrival to the winery. Fermentation is regulated during fermentation to 16-18°C (61-64°F).

TASTING NOTES: Airy, light, with lovely fruit/acid balance. Drink all summer long!
