Germinus - 2018 - Fred Niger

Produced in collaboration with a vigneron friend from Cahors – Germain Croisille, from Château Les Croisille. 100% Malbec from vines farmed organically and planted on a siliceous and ferrous terroir made up of red clay, a plot located on the limestone plateau of Luzech. Harvesting is done by hand, then the grapes are fed into the winery by gravity: they are destemmed by 50%, then placed in vats for 10 days, with indigenous yeasts, and finally matured for 9 months in 150- and 600-litre amphorae. Bottled without fining, filtration or added sulphites.
