Description

The wine is dedicated to Irene, the daughter of the Cusiné family. The majority of grapes are Merlot (67%) from the Cal Miret plot that add succulent jam notes and the rest are Cabernet Franc that bring structure. Aromatising the grapes in the cold for five days produced a rich colour and aroma. The grape varieties were fermented for a long time in separately chilled tanks and first matured in new French Allier Oak, then in the bottle. Biodynamic organic wine is the choice of demanding gourmets, also for vegans.

The producer's responsibility focus areas

1. Agriculture: biodynamic farming, increasing biodiversity, and placing new vineyards at higher altitudes where a cooler microclimate balances rising temperatures. Additionally, using more local, drought-resistant grape varieties, reducing irrigation to save groundwater, and utilizing forests as carbon sinks.
2. Packaging: lighter bottles to reduce the carbon footprint, using more sustainable capsules and recycled materials.
3. Facilities & logistics: LED lighting and more efficient motors reduce power consumption and increase energy efficiency. Electric and hybrid cars are also in use.
