WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for this Pinot Noir begins with hand-harvested grapes. Fermentation occurs in both stainless steel tanks and oak barrels, incorporating pre-fermentation maceration for up to five days. During alcoholic fermentation, techniques such as pumping over and punching down are employed. Malolactic fermentation is also carried out. Aging involves approximately 30% of the wine spending 12 months in French oak barrels, with some indications of up to 18 months in 228-liter French oak barriques.
