Ferraton Père & Fils - Condrieu Les Mandouls | French White Wine

Granitic sub-soil with alluvial deposits on the surface. South to South East exposure. The vines are situated on steep slopes which are organized interraces (les Chalets) surrounded by low walls. Work is all manual.

After pressing, the must is cold-settled for 48 hours. Only the indigenous yeasts are used for the fermentation which occurs at a temperature between 17 and 21°C.

The malolactic fermentation hasn't been achieved to give to the wines a maximum of aromatic freshness. The wine is aged for about 85% in stainless steel vats and the rest in big oak barrels(demi-muids) to achieve the purest fruit possible.
