Terroir:
This Vacqueyras is made from Grenache and Syrah grapes. The vines are located in the villages of Vacqueyras and Sarrians on soils of stony alluvial deposits and stony terraces.
Winemaking:
Harvest at optimum ripeness. The wine is stored in vats immediately in order to preserve aromas. The fermentation on skins lasts for 3 weeks for an optimal extraction. The temperatures are strictly controlled (28°C maximum). The wine is racked off and undergoes malolactic fermentation. Then it is stored in vats during 8 months and bottled. It is then aged in bottle for 6 months.
