The Cinsault grapes are harvested entirely by hand in the early morning, when temperatures are still cool. After destemming, the grapes are left to rest on the skins for several hours, during which the juice is extracted. Only the free-run juice is used for the wine, and care is taken to ensure its clarity before fermentation begins. This ensures that only the pure, concentrated juice of the grapes is used, resulting in wines with intense fruity flavors.
