WINE MAKING PROCESS
Kolonia52's 'Lime' 2024 is produced using a minimal intervention approach. Grapes are hand-harvested and undergo whole-cluster fermentation with native yeasts. The winemaking process is entirely manual, utilizing gravity for racking and bottling, and no pumps are employed. Notably, no sulfur is added at any stage, and the wine is bottled unfined and unfiltered. Aging typically occurs on lees in neutral oak barrels and amphoras, preserving the wine's natural character and expression of its volcanic terroir.
