After an extraordinary heatwave, which remains in the annals of these lands, the joyful harvest of September 13th and 14th seems like an almost liberating ritual. The result is a wine that, a product of a season that has severely tested the land, stands out for its distinctly natural character. Man responds to the force of nature by speaking the same language. Nothing else is possible. A fortnight of maceration on the skins prepares the wine for aging in large barrels.
