Winemaking process
Manual harvest, with grapes being sorted directly on the vine. 100% Chenin Blanc, gently pressed, then fermented in steel vats. Made with indigenous yeasts (“wild yeasts”), Galaxy Caaaaaaat has no inputs at any point in the entire process. No chaptalisation, no deacidification/acidification, no colouring, no thickening… we respect ourselves and we respect you. Matured in steel vats for 6 months. A small dose of sulphites is added during bottling (<20mg/l), notably to avoid “mousiness”. Unfiltered. Natural wine.
Winemaker
This is a four-handed wine (six-handed even!). It was created by Christophe Kaczmarek, Daniel Craker and Marc Houtin, winemakers from Les Vignes du Fresche, in the hilly terroirs of Anjou Noir.
The wines are made, blended, bottled and packaged on site. From the vine to the cellar, everything is done with the aim of respecting nature, regenerating the soils, promoting biodiversity and respecting the people who are part of it.
