Auriola AOC Châteauneuf-Du-Pape Red

The vineyard is situated on the best-exposed terroirs on limestone and sandy soils mixed with pebbles, ploughed during the year. The work on the growing vines is rigorous (bud pruning, leaf removal, green pruning) to limit the yields and thus improve the quality. Manual harvesting, total stripping and crushing. Fermentation maintained at 28°C followed by maceration of 3 to 4 weeks. The wines are lightly filtered before bottling. The tannic Syrah and Grenache wines are matured in French oak barrels for 12 months, the more supple Grenaches in concrete vats and century-old oak tuns to preserve the fruit.
