Altes Trementinaire White Garnacha

Trementinaire refers to the wise women of the mountain, the healers, the witches. The grapes are harvested by hand. For 10 days, a skin maceration is carried out until the alcoholic fermentation begins. The free run must is separated to another tank to finish the alcoholic fermentation without the skins. The skins and the remaining must stay in the same tank until the end of alcoholic fermentation. Transfer to 300 litre 5th use barrels for an ageing period of 22 months. Aromas of ointments, herbs, plants, dried orange peel. Evoking times of when a solera barrel of wine was kept beneath every staircase, looked after by the grandmother whose job it was to top it up and ensure it never ran dry. Memories of a past time that endure in the present.
