Winemaking and ageing
The vines are grown using biodynamics and worked entirely by mule and horse. Leaf removal is carried out before the entirely manual harvest. All macerations are carried out in the concrete, temperature-regulated vat room, distinguishing each plot and each grape variety. Syrah: vatting and vinification using destemmed grapes. Grenache and Mourvèdre: destemming and light crushing at vatting. Controlled vatting temperatures. Very gentle maceration limiting tannic extraction. Simply a few pump-overs for aeration and moistening of the cap. Carignan: vatting of whole bunches, vinification at a fairly high temperature to promote aromatic extraction.
Tasting note
Clos d'Ora is distinguished by its brilliant
deep ruby colour.
Its powerful and elegant character is revealed on
the palate through intense aromas of dark fruits
and smooth, subtle tannins. Thanks to its
sophisticated winemaking and ageing, Clos
d'Ora benefits from a remarkable breadth and
length on the palate.
Clos d'Ora is an exceptional wine with great
ageing potential.
