Domaine de la Vallongue, Les Baux de Provence, Garrigues, red, organic wine processing

At the quality level "Garrigues" - be it the white wine, the rose or this red, the crop is limited by appropriate pruning to 40 hl per hectare. By comparison, German winegrowers are allowed to harvest up to 100 hl / hectare for so-called quality wines (QbA). Of course, there are also in Germany winemakers who strive for better quality and limit the harvest quantities as well. The different grape varieties are not harvested at the same time due to the different maturity. The maceration / fermentation lasts 3 to 4 weeks each. Only after the fermentation has been completed are the wines of the individual grape varieties combined, depending on their quality, into a harmonious blend and matured in stainless steel tanks.
