vintage description
After a mild and rainy winter, a warm and pluvious March led to early budding. Apart from a few hot days in April, it was wet and cool until the end of June. A warm summer was followed by an autumn with frequent spells of rain, which delayed ripening. Overall, it was a challenging year in viticulture, which demanded a lot of work from the winegrowers. Thanks to the consistent implementation of our quality philosophy, the experience of our producers and the cooperation within the cooperative, grapes of remarkable quality were harvested, particularly with regard to the white grape varieties and Pinot Noirs. The white wines of the 2024 vintage are delicate and fresh. In the red wines, the elegance of the Pinot Noir is impressive.
TECHNICAL INFORMATION
- grapes: Sauvignon
- yield: 55 hl/hectare
- altitude: 450m above sea level
- soil: calcareous clay and gravelly soils
- climate: extreme interplay between sunny days, influenced by the Mediterranean climate, and cool nights, marked by the cold downslope winds from the surrounding mountains
winemaking
After harvest, the grapes are gently pressed at low pressure. The wine ferments slowly at controlled temperature (19°C) in small stainless-steel tanks. Subsequently it ages for 6 months in wood barrels (30 – 40 hl on the lees), without malolactic conversion.
