Description
Region: Roussillon
Grapes: 45% Muscat à Petits Grains, 45% Muscat d’Alexandrie, 10% Macabeu
Winemaking: The Muscat d’Alexandrie and Macabeu were whole cluster co-fermented for 20 days in fiberglass tank; the Muscat à Petits Grains was whole cluster fermented for 15 days in a separate fiberglass tank. The tanks were pressed separately, and the juice returned to the original tanks to complete fermentation. Only the naturally occurring indigenous yeasts were utilized in the fermentation. After completing malolactic fermentation, the Muscat d’Alexandrie and Macabeu were racked into sandstone amphora, and the Muscat à Petits Grains racked into stainless steel tanks, where they all aged for 7 months. One month prior to bottling the components were blended and a very low dose of sulfur added. Bottled unfined and unfiltered.
