Domaine Plageoles
Duras 2020
Gaillac | Red | 2020
This wine is made from the Duras grape variety, native to the Tarn region, and is a benchmark of the Gaillac appellation. Grown on clay-limestone soil with a planting density of 5,000 vines per hectare, it benefits from hand-harvesting. Vinification takes place in concrete vats with indigenous yeasts, followed by a short maceration and minimal extraction to preserve the fruit's finesse. Aging for one year in concrete vats, followed by another year in the bottle, refines its structure and depth.
