about the harvest: Picked at optimal ripeness, the grapes were hand sorted.
in the cellar : After settling out some solids, the juice was transferred to barrel at the desired turbidity levels. Indigenous yeast strains were allowed for alcoholic fermentation to enhance aromatics and mouthfeel. Batonaged for the first two months, the wine was left to mature on its lees for the entire maturation period. To preserve freshness and vibrant fruit, it didn’t undergo secondary malolactic fermentation.
Maturation: 11 Months | Oak: 100% new French oak | Production: 400 bottles.
