White Tradition 2023, AOC Ventoux
Organic Wine
Appearance
Clear, crystalline yellow.
Terroir
Altitude between 120-140m. Well-drained clay-limestone soil. The predominance of the Mistral (North wind) provides good aeration and natural protection against disease.
Viticulture & Vinification
Our organic viticulture seeks to be in harmony with the earth, with organic fertilisation and minimal use of sprays. The vines have trellising and are pruned using Cordon de Royat.
The grapes are hand-picked and the grape must is fermented at low temperatures to extract the natural flavours of the grapes.
We harvested the Vermentino in early September for its fresh aromas. The Grenache blanc and then the Clairette were harvested later in September for full ripeness. 30% was aged in French oak for 6 months.
