The fruit was destemmed and selectively sorted, with 50% retained as whole berries. Wild fermentation was followed by individual maceration programs, unified by a gentle pump-over regime that often involved simply wetting the cap for a minimum of 14 days. Selected Grenache parcels received extended maceration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe wine matured for eight months in a combination of seasoned French oak puncheons and foudre, ceramic eggs and amphora before bottling in February 2025.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting Profile\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer Tasting Note\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cq\u003eOur Grenache, Shiraz and Mourvèdre blend is inspired by the traditional estate blends of the southern Rhône.
