The winemaker’s corner
Soils: Tertiary calcareous marsh soils. Fluvial deposits dating back to the Pliocene with siliceous pebbles from the Montagne Noire.
Vineyard work: Parcel-by-parcel work, grape variety by grape variety, to find a beautiful balance between the Merlot and Cabernet Franc vines.
First, the two grape varieties are harvested separately according to ripeness and tasting evaluations. They are then destemmed and placed into fermentation. A gentle and qualitative extraction takes place with minimal handling. Finally, daily tastings of the different vats help determine the end of the post-fermentation maceration. The wine is then filtered using tangential filtration, which means using a very fine filter and sterile filtration. This process eliminates certain microorganisms, such as yeasts, to further protect the wine. To offer you a wine full of freshness, no sulfites were added during the vinification or bottling process.
No Added Sulfites
The blending of the Les Nuits de Paraza cuvée takes place in December, once all fermentations are complete.
Cellaring Potential: 1 year.
