Aurora – Château 2018

Sourcing, Vineyard, and Winemaking:

• The vineyards have been planted in two parcels, the first in 2009 and the second in 2012. Both parcels are at an altitude of 900 m from the Mediterranean in the village of Aoura.
• The yield is tightly controlled to carry up to 8 grape clusters per vine. At Aurora, all practice dry farming and eco-conscious viticulture: growing of our fertilizers and pest control practices are eco-friendly/organic and do not cause any harm to the environment.
• The grapes are carefully handpicked harvested at the beginning of September then de-stemmed and fermented at 22 degrees Celsius in stainless steel tanks until initial fermentation is complete.
• The wine is aged in 30% new oak barrels for 12 months, bottled 2 years after harvest, and then aged in the bottle 2 years before its release.

• All lab products used at the winery are organic, including the yeasts used for fermentation.
