The estate began practicing organic viticulture in 2008 and achieved full ECOCERT organic certification in 2011. For the Diem cuvée, grapes are hand-harvested, destemmed, and fermented separately by individual plot, followed by a cool maceration lasting three to four weeks. The wine then rests for 18 months in concrete tanks — a deliberate choice that preserves fruit purity and terroir character without introducing the vanilla or toast notes associated with oak barrel aging. Depending on the vintage, the blend may be 100% Merlot or a combination of approximately 80% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc, and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. The finished wine is bottled unfined and without added sulfites.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e The nose opens with bright, fresh red fruit — think ripe red currant and crushed plum — layered with a subtle dusting of cedar-infused minerality.
