A white wine produced like a red one. Grapes are harvested by hand and collected using 18-kg boxes. Destemmed and crushed, they are placed in a stainless steel tank with their skins to cool the must until the alcoholic fermentation begins with wild yeasts. The must or wine spends a full four weeks in contact with the grape skins to extract colour and aromas before being pressed and transferred into 5 barrels of 500L of 5th use and 2 barrels of 300L of 8th use to start an oxidative aging for 24 months.
Only 4,000 bottles are produced.
Trementinaire is an orange skin-fermented wine, with a bright orange colour. Aromas of herbs and plants and dried orange peel bring to mind well-matured traditional rancio wines which used to sit in a barrel under the staircase at your grandparents’ home. Memories of a less hurried past are brought back to life. Fresh, intense, dry and elegant in the mouth.
