List
of White Wines
After
being destalked, white grapes are transferred to pneumatic presses
under carbonic gas (CO2) in order to avoid oxidation. We
press grapes for 1 to 1½ hours, then place the juice in concrete
vats that are coated with alimentary enamel. The juice is cooled to
5°C in order to favor the deposit of the must, or micro-particules
of pulp.
After 24 hours, we separate the clear juice from the must for
fermentation with control of temperature from 15 to 18°C for 15
days. At the end of alcoholic fermentation, transformation of the
natural sugar into alcohol, we put a slight amount of sulfur in the
wine, cool it, and fine it in order to make it clear, limpid, and
brilliant.
As soon as we obtain this result, we filter the white wine with
plates and bottle it, generally between December and February
following the harvest.
