WINE MAKING PROCESS
The grapes are hand-harvested and rigorously sorted upon arrival at the winery. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks with native yeasts to preserve the fresh, vibrant fruit character of the Pinot Noir. The wine is then aged in French oak barrels (with a very low proportion of new oak to avoid overpowering the delicate fruit) for approximately 12 months before bottling. Minimal fining and filtration are applied to maintain the wine's natural expression.
