Vinification of the Pinot Noir from Rhône

The Pinot Noir Rhône comes from the renowned Rhône wine-growing region in France, which is known for its diverse terroirs. The Pinot Noir grapes are carefully cultivated there in optimal sites, where the moderate climate with cool nights and warm days ensures slow and even ripening. These conditions guarantee fresh and aromatic berries, ideal for the production of high-quality red wines.

The harvest is carried out by hand, ensuring the selection of the best and ripest grapes. After picking, the berries are gently destemmed and lightly pressed. The subsequent fermentation takes place under temperature control at around 25 °C to preserve the delicate fruit aromas and support the development of elegance. The maturation takes place in stainless steel tanks, which preserves the clear and fresh character of the Pinot Noir Rhône. Through a short period of aging on the fine lees, the wine gains additional body and complexity, while maturation in wood is deliberately kept restrained for this varietal wine so as not to overpower the delicate notes of the grape variety.
