Vinification of Semaphora Blanc by Château la Gordonne

The grapes for Semaphora Blanc by Château la Gordonne thrive in the sun-drenched vineyards of Provence. The calcareous soils and the predominantly mild Mediterranean climate create ideal conditions for optimal grape ripening. The meticulous work in the vineyard begins with targeted yield management to harvest the grapes at their highest quality.

The harvest takes place early in the morning when temperatures are still low to preserve freshness and aromatic intensity. Hand harvesting ensures that only perfectly ripe grapes are processed. Afterwards, gentle pressing of the grapes extracts the delicate aromas and tender fruit.

The vinification is based on controlled temperature fermentation, which occurs at 16 to 18 degrees Celsius. This preserves the fruity nuances and lively acidity. A portion of the wine also undergoes a short maturation on the fine lees, adding more complexity and body to the wine. The maturation in stainless steel tanks preserves clarity and freshness, while the harmonious interplay of aromas and mineral depth is accentuated.
