“It’s not a question of speed, or rapidity. It’s a question of tempo.”
– Emmanuel (Manu) Lassaigne
At Arabilis Wines, our winemaking philosophy is rooted in meticulous care and respect for nature, capturing the essence of each vineyard and vintage. We start with hand-picking and field-sorting grapes, ensuring only the finest fruit is selected. Gentle pressing and deliberate press cuts preserve the purest juice, highlighting the terroir. Fermentation in oak barrels enhances the wine’s character, body, and subtlety. We avoid fining and filtration, allowing natural development. For our sparkling wines, we now utilize specialized automated equipment for bottling and disgorging, maintaining our commitment to quality and tradition with modern efficiency.
