Country:France
Climate:The climate in Bandol is nearly perfect for viticulture, especially for the mourvèdre grape. Bandol is the sunniest place in Provence, with various mountains blocking incoming clouds. Just enough rain falls normally for plants to be healthy. Winds keep vineyards fresh and healthy, so there is very little disease worry. In the summer, ocean breezes attenuate heat, allowing for slow, even ripening.
Harvest Technique:Grapes are harvested by hand and sorted in the vineyard.
Soil:silt soils
Fermentation:After pressing, a fairly rapid yeast addition begins alcoholic fermentation partially on the Clairette skins. 48 hours after racking, sulfites are added to block malolactic fermentation.
Elevage:4 months’ ageing in stainless-steel vat
Winemaker Name:Cedric Gravel
Finning & Filtration:Fining carried out in November. Unfiltered.
Producer Website:https://domaine-la-suffrene.com/
