This wine is continuing the Vd’O collection “Varietals de terrer”. The grape variety comes from a very old bush vines —110 years old— grown on a gravelly/sand soil.
the vines are located in the most flat in the center of the region slightly titled towards the southeast.
Harvest & vinification process
The grapes are picked by hand and collected into small crates of 10 kg. A period of cold soak in a fridge (at 2-4ºC) followed by skin contact maceration.
