WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Binner PetNat Storm 2020 is produced using the Pétillant Naturel method, where the wine undergoes a single fermentation that finishes in the bottle, creating natural effervescence. Fermentation is spontaneous, relying on natural yeasts. The grapes are farmed organically and biodynamically, with a philosophy of minimal intervention. Wines are aged on their lees in old oak barrels and foudres. Harvests are manual, with grapes picked at full ripeness. The estate utilizes a bioclimatic cellar built according to anthroposophical principles.
