By hand in dry, sunny weather.

Fermentation is brought on by indigenous yeasts and takes place in temperature controlled concrete tanks. A maceration lasting 4 weeks is carried out, followed by malolactic fermentation in barrels. It is aged 25% in oak barrels (100% French), which gives the wine body, power, and aromatic complexity. The remaining 75% is aged in concrete tanks, which helps preserve the freshness and minerality of the Syrah.

Granite terrain created by the wind and geological alteration resulting in restrictive soils with good drainage. Here we find the principal soil and climatic elements of great Saint-Joseph wines. These slow kinetics of maturation give the “Granilites” wine great freshness, minerality, and acidity potential. The parcels of vines are located in the communes of Charnas, Tournon and Mauves, the birthplace of the appellation. The altitude and exposure to wind (including the Mistral) ensure that there is a natural self-regulation of pests, while providing cool air throughout the summer. The parcels are primarily southeast facing.

Varietal: 100% Syrah
Aging Potential: 5-10 years
