LEON BARRAL - Tradition 2019
Domaine Léon Barral is located in the village of Cabrerolles , in the Faugères appellation in Languedoc-Roussillon . Didier Barral founded the estate in the early 1990s and named it in honor of his grandfather. The estate has 30 hectares of vineyards cultivated biodynamically but certified organic , planted on schistose soils. Domaine Léon Barral uses a gravity flow system in the cellar. Once harvested, most grapes are destemmed, but some bunches may be kept whole for winemaking. The grapes are fermented in cement vats using natural yeasts. The maceration period lasts three to four weeks and the grapes are then gently pressed in an old wooden basket press. After ageing, the wines are bottled without racking, fining or filtration.
Faugères Tradition is a blend of Carignan, Grenache and Cinsault from several plots, aged in cement and stainless steel vats for 24 months .
Grapes: Carignan, Grenache, Cinsault
