Manual, with a selection in the vineyard on the stainless grape bin. The harvest started on the 20th of September 2016. Right from seeing the very first free run wines, we noticed beautifully intense and deep colors.

Wine-tasting notes

To the eye, a beautifully intense and deep colour. The Grenache exhales notes of raspberry, black fruits and a lot of spices. In the mouth, Vieilles Vignes 2016 gives a rich and full tasting, with a velvety and subtle delicacy and a great freshness.
