Prima Nature Syrah red 2020

The work begins in the vineyard with a precise and meticulous selection of the plots best suited to produce this type of wine (90% of the final result stems from this precision work): the sanitary condition must be perfect, the foliage must to be healthy, fresh and dense, the grapes must have an optimum level of ripeness. Indeed, the picking window is very short as the acid/sugar balance and maturity of the tannins are essential for this category of wine. Red winemaking is very traditional, except that we do not use SO2 or any other oenological input. The grapes are destemmed then the maceration phase lasts about 10 days during which we only work on the extraction by daily pumping over to promote the expression of the fruit. The pressing takes place by taking care to separate the presses, then the wines are racked in order to eliminate the coarsest lees before the malolactic fermentation. Following the latter, the wines are racked again and then put in the cold to guarantee their good stability in the vats.
