Domain of the New Deal - Neo Nervis 2021
La Nouvelle Don(n)e is located at the Col de la Done on the land of Calce , in Roussillon . It was created by Wilfried Valat in 2007. The vineyard, saved from the uprooting for which it was intended, is divided into four islands: Clot de l'Olby, Clot du Mas, Clot de la Berne and Clot de the greenhouse. The cultivation method implemented throughout the estate aims to respect the environment and promote the proper functioning of the wine-growing ecosystems. It follows the specifications of organic farming for which the farm has been certified since 2011 on the historical part and since 2014 on the Bern and Greenhouse part. Ten years after the creation of the estate, Wilfried lives and vinifies his wines in Maury.
Neo Nervis is made from Macabeu , harvested manually at Clot de la Berne. The harvest is refrigerated overnight, then put into direct pressing. After a selection of juices and settling, vinification begins spontaneously with indigenous yeasts. The vinification is carried out in frustoconical wooden vats and in barrels of 3 to 5 wines . The aging lasts 12 months on total lees , without stirring or racking.
Grape variety: 100% Macabeu
