"Installed in 2014, we started with 3.5ha of leased vines in Gordes. These are old carignans, cinsauts and aubuns. Then cabernet sauvignons (destined for grafting) were gradually added, followed by white and black grenaches, alicante and pink and white clairettes. We now have 10ha of vines.
Our work in the vineyard is organic (certified). We cultivate rather old vines, all of which have undergone a more or less long and deleterious period of conventional farming. Our aim is to revive soil life and restore the balance between soil and plant. This involves composting, careful work with the vines (pruning, disbudding) and with the soil (intercep under the row, 1 row out of 2 worked). We plant plant cover for the winter and plan to plant trees in and around the vineyard plots.
The relatively late harvest is done by hand to allow careful sorting. In the cellar, the grapes are macerated in whole bunches, and we aim to obtain light, fresh wines that correspond to this relatively cold vineyard. Fermentation is carried out by the yeasts and bacteria naturally present on the grapes. We don't use violent processes that denature the wine (filtration, etc.). When we do add sulfites, it's only in small amounts (<15mg/l), and after or at the end of fermentation, so as not to corrupt the indigenous flora that gives the wine its taste. The absence or quantity of added sulfites is indicated on all our back labels." - Aurélie and Vincent Garreta
