Vinification and aging

Winemaking at Domaine Graeme et Julie Bott is an art that blends tradition and innovation. After hand-harvesting the grapes, they are gently pressed to extract the juice. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks and oak barrels, allowing the wine to develop its complexity while preserving the fruit's freshness. Aging lasts several months on the lees, giving the wine a creamy texture and even richer aromas. This meticulous process results in wines that reveal the full typicity of Viognier.
