Naturae merlot 2023 75cl

Naturae is a range of organic wines without added sulfites that offers particularly pure, generous and gourmet aromas. Each vintage, whose composition is reduced to the essentials, expresses the character and taste of the fruit and the terroir. This wine is born from the know-how of Gérard Bertrand and his oenologists, who have unique expertise in sulfite-free winemaking. The wines are grown according to organic standards, which requires high quality grapes. Naturae is also a vegan range for consumers concerned about respecting animals. Intense and fruity, Naturae will provide you with a unique experience of the grape variety while respecting the environment.

The work begins in the vineyard with a precise and meticulous selection of the plots most suited to producing this type of wine (90% of the final result comes from this precision work): the health status must be perfect, the foliage must be healthy, fresh and dense, the grapes must have an optimal level of maturity. Indeed, the harvest window is very short as the acid/sugar balance and maturity of the tannins are essential for this category of wine. Red winemaking is very traditional, except that we do not use SO2 or any other oenological input. The grapes are destemmed and then the maceration phase lasts about 10 days during which we only work on the extraction by daily pumping over to promote the expression of the fruit. The pressing takes place by taking care to separate the presses, then the wines are racked in order to eliminate the coarsest lees before malolactic fermentation. Following this, the wines are racked again and then placed in the cold to guarantee their good stability in the vat.
