Vinification of the Fitou Cuvée Prestige by Herpe Paul The basis for the powerful Fitou Cuvée Prestige from France is grapes from the Carignan, Grenache, Mourvèdre, and Syrah varieties. The grapes grow under optimal conditions in Languedoc-Roussillon. Here, the vines drive their roots deep into clay and limestone soils. After the grape harvest, the grapes are swiftly brought to the winery. There, they are sorted and gently crushed. Fermentation then takes place in stainless steel tanks and large wood at controlled temperatures. After fermentation, the wine is aged for several months on the fine lees before it is finally bottled.
