Their studies brought them together with great winemakers from various regions of France, and as they learned from these experienced producers, they gained a deep respect for the unadulterated expression of the fruit so prevalent in naturally-made wines.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>There is nothing average about this husband-and-wife team of enologists:\u00a0 they consider every detail with both brainy enthusiasm and heart.\u00a0 These eco-conscious artisans could never be accused of not walking their talk, either. They adhere to organic methods in the vineyards and are now also incorporating biodynamic practices, adding even stricter discipline to their intense workload. Their winemaking process allows the natural character of the wine to speak for itself, with minute doses of sulfur, no fining or filtration, and bottling during optimal weather conditions when the atmospheric pressure is just right. With one cuv\u00e9e of C\u00f4tes de Provence, they take it to the next level: everything is done by hand with absolutely no machinery \u2013 earning the name Nowat (no watt=no electricity). Consider their \u201cCuv\u00e9e Tr\u00e8s Longue Mac\u00e9ration\u201d for some tr\u00e8s long aging, too.\u00a0 The Dup\u00e9r\u00e9 Barrera team captures the essence of their region beautifully: rich, sun-kissed fruit, savory herbes de Provence, and long, lingering finishes.\u00a0 Travel to sunny Provence with the pop of a cork.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the jobs we have is to sift through 1000&#8217;s of wines available to us and bring in wines that have a &#8216;wow&#8217; factor.
