about the harvest: The grapes were hand picked into small baskets.

in the cellar : Grapes were hand-picked according to phenolic ripeness into small baskets and naturally fermented in line with SIP principles.
Most of them were matured in 2nd or 3rd fill small French oak barrels for 9 months, and a portion of the Viognier was harvested early and fermented and matured in Stainless Steel tank. Our aim was to create a wine with a harmonious palate and a good fresh finish to partner with a wide range of food dishes.
