Terroir
風土

Our ancestral winemaking know-how expresses itself in the production of this prestigious Côtes du Rhône made with organic grapes. The vines thrive on sand and clay soils covered by small pebbles around the village of Sainte-Cécile-les-vignes. Organically grown, VIRIDI grapes benefit from a Mediterranean climate tempered by the local Mistral wind. This terroir will give a nice structure. More respectful of the environment, the winegrowing techniques favour the work of the soils, natural fertilizers and a minimum of phytosanitary products excluding all synthetic chemical substances. In Latin, VIRIDI means green (reference to grass). This name honours the organic grapes and the “cuvee” that displays gourmet fruit and smoothness.

Vinification
釀造過程

Grenache is harvested earlier than traditionally grown grapes. Thus it will give plenty of fruit and freshness. Traditional methods. Vinification takes place in closed concrete tanks. Grapes naturally ferment at 26-28°C. Two daily pump overs, release and lees stirring are carried out during the alcoholic fermentation. We use very few sulphites in order to strictly respect the limits of organically grown grapes. After completing the malolactic fermentation the wine is aged in concrete vats for 12 months which develop the roundness.
