Elaboration and aging

Les Terrasses is a blend of the Carignan, Grenache, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Syrah varieties. The grapes come from old vineyards in small estates in the area, all controlled by the winery. For its elaboration, vinification is carried out in stainless steel tanks, concrete tanks, and different types of wood. This way, they try to extract the maximum expression of the grape and the terroir.

After vinification, Les Terrasses undergoes 12 months of aging in French oak barrels, with 20% of the barrels being new and 80% being used barrels from the second and third year.
