WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Revolution white maceration involves several distinctive winemaking techniques. The Chardonnay grapes undergo skin maceration, a process typically used for red wines, before fermentation in amphorae. The Scheurebe component may also see short skin maceration or whole berry fermentation. The Riesling portion is sourced from a solera system, which involves blending wines of different vintages. Aging occurs across a variety of vessels, including amphorae, acacia barrels, oak barrels, and stainless steel. The wine is generally produced with minimal intervention, often being unfined and unfiltered with limited or no added sulfur. Grapes are hand-harvested.
