WINE MAKING PROCESS
The grapes are hand-harvested from biodynamically farmed vineyards. Fermentation occurs spontaneously with native yeasts in concrete tanks, with minimal skin contact to keep the wine light, fresh, and vibrant. It is bottled unfiltered and unfined with no added sulfur, preserving its raw, energetic character.
