Organic wine - processing, Domaine de la Vallongue, Les Baux de Provence, AOP, Garrigues, white

With the quality level "Garrigues" - whether white wine, rosé or red - the quantity harvested in good normal years is limited to 40 hl per hectare by an appropriate size. In 2022 also a long period of drought and great heat ensured an exceptionally small crop of only 13 hl / ha. A quantity that falls below the cost of production.

Each of the three grape varieties is harvested separately due to the different ripening times. Then, the grapes are gently pressed and macerated for one hour with the skins at low temperature, with a preliminary clarification in progress. The following alcoholic fermentation is carried out at a temperature of 15-17 ° C to preserve the fresh and fruity aromas. The young wine is put back in stainless steel tanks until the bottles are filled in spring.
