Domaine Perzinsky

THE GROUND, OR THE LIVE ROOTS: The island is constituted by a base compound silurien phyllite. The origin, very old, gives grounds specific characters. Lack of alkaline earth elements and rich in trace elements, for example. This training has undergone considerable pressure during metamorphism, alteration now gives siliceous fines rather clayey. The soils developed on this medium are marked by specific factors related to the terrain and terrain. Due to the absence of river, the erosion and alluvial were very low during the quaternary, as deposits terraces comparable to those of the Rhone Valley and Bordeaux are absent here. The soils are of colluvial leached some kind. Put simply, we have the chance to make wine grapes from rare soils (Moselle valley, Collioure, Andlau, Anjou and Priorat) closely related to the vine and wine. Shale is a sedimentary rock in the oldest laminated appearance on earth. This is a kind of soil that has been cooked like a mile high pressure leaves in the depths of the earth's crust. Shale allows the roots to penetrate deep, which increases the area of ​​contact between the plant and its substrate and render less sensitive to lack of water. The maturity of the grapes is slower. The harvest at Domaine Perzinsky always start a week after the continent. Shale also promote the subtlety of flavors and bring complexity to the wine. CLIMATE, OR FOLIAGE VIT: The atmosphere and climate. It is surprising that in the southernmost part of the French vineyard we have almost northern conditions. We are on a huge boat and the influence of this mass of water moderates the climate planing extremes. The average temperatures of 15.3 ° C with a minimum of 6.5 ° C and maximum 26.7 ° C. The insularity brings to the field Perzinsky temperatures with low thermal amplitude during the year. This particular situation is characterized by a very mild winter and a cool summer. Vegetation whole withstands summer drought. Rainfall is low, on the order of 650 mm of rain over 70 days a year. The wettest period is between 15 October and late February. The mistral is another component that is largely on the vineyards of Domaine Perzinsky. Real cure, the Mistral fight against fungal diseases, dry grapes and promotes ripening in September. METHOD OF WORKING : Located in the heart of the National Park, the area is naturally oriented toward natural and sustainable agriculture. We favor the ecological struggle, giving priority to respect for the site and the terroir.
