The wine region of Colorado

American Far West vineyard at extreme altitude (1,200-2,000 m), among the highest in North America. A dry continental climate with strong thermal swings signing tension and freshness. Firm Cabernet Sauvignon reds with signature notes of blackcurrant, black cherry, cedar and menthol, tight tannins. Round, fruity Merlot (plum, cocoa), peppery Cabernet Franc.

The word of the wine: Reassembly

During the vinification process, a "cap" is formed at the top of the vats with the solid parts (skin, pulp, pips, etc.), which contain tannins and colouring elements. Pumping over consists of emptying the vat from the bottom and pouring the juice back to the top, in order to mix the cap and the juice and to favour the exchange and the extraction. This old technique allows a better exchange between the solid parts and the liquid.
