WINE MAKING PROCESS
This wine is produced using low-intervention natural winemaking techniques. The Merlot and Cabernet Franc grapes are hand-harvested at optimal freshness to maintain high natural acidity. Fermentation occurs spontaneously using indigenous yeasts in stainless steel tanks to preserve the bright primary fruit flavors. No chemical inputs are used during vinification, and the wine is bottled unfined and unfiltered with minimal or no added sulfur dioxide, preserving its raw, energetic character.
