Organic wine - processing Les Béatines Côteaux d'Aix en Provence, white

The vineyards of Domaine Les Béates are either right next to the winery or a maximum of 5 minutes away. This is a great advantage if the manually harvested grapes are to be sent to the winery for further processing as soon as possible. because this is the first step to avoid premature oxidation of the grapes and the juice spilled from the berries, or to prevent them from doing so with sulfur powder. The grapes are harvested manually by type and processed separately. They are separated from the panicles and pressed immediately. The fermentation starts spontaneously with the grapes' own yeasts at a controlled temperature of 18 ° C. The varietal wines are matured in stainless steel tanks. It is only shortly before filling in bottles that the cuvée is put together to achieve the best possible harmony.
