Overview

Winnica Saint Vincent is a Polish vineyard combining French oenological expertise with the terroir-driven potential of Western Poland. Founded in 2009 by Jean Mulot, a native of Normandy, the vineyard was established to produce high-quality wines in alignment with traditional European viticulture standards while adapting to the climatic and geological specifics of the Lubusz region.

Viticulture

• Vine Management: The vineyard operates under sustainable and biodynamic principles, minimizing synthetic chemical inputs. All grapes are cultivated with ecological plant protection practices to preserve biodiversity and soil health.

• Harvesting: Grapes are hand-picked in small 10 kg crates to maintain fruit integrity and allow for selective sorting in the vineyard.

• Yield Management: Controlled yields ensure optimal concentration, with canopy management and green harvesting applied as required.

• Grape Varieties:

  • White: Riesling, Pinot Gris, Gewürztraminer, Muscat Ottonel, Chardonnay, Auxerrois, Solaris

  • Red: Pinot Noir, Regent, Rondo

Winemaking

• Fermentation: Conducted in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks or oak barrels using both cultured and indigenous yeast strains depending on the style.

• Vinification Methods: Includes both classical (still) wines and natural production approaches such as pétillant naturel (Pet-Nat) and traditional bottle fermentation for sparkling wines.

• Aging: Wines are matured on fine lees to enhance texture and aromatic complexity. Oak aging is selectively applied for structure and balance.

• Filtration and Stabilization: Minimal intervention approach—gentle clarification and stabilization to preserve natural character.
