WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Barrique Pinot Noir is produced using spontaneous fermentation, relying on native yeasts for the process. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for nine months in French oak barrels. The vineyard management practices include herbicide-free cultivation, manual weeding, and hand-harvesting. The winery was an early adopter of barrel-fermented blends in Luxembourg, introducing the technique in 1982.
