In the vineyard
Here, vineyard management is conducted with a sustainable approach, meticulously aligning with the exceptional environment of the area, ensuring the vines are as content and thriving as sunbathers in Saint Tropez.
Winemaking
The process begins with meticulous destemming prior to pressing. Both the free run and pressed
juices are transferred to stainless vessels where fermentation is started by the introduction of
carefully selected yeasts. This is succeeded by a controlled fermentation phase, conducted at low
temperatures within sophisticated state-of-the-art gravity-fed stainless steel tanks, ensuring a
refined and high-quality outcome.
