WINE MAKING PROCESS
While specific details on the 2024 vintage's winemaking are not extensively provided, the tasting notes suggest a careful approach to oak integration, contributing notes of vanilla and toasted elements. The creamy texture and bright acidity indicate a balanced fermentation process, likely involving malolactic fermentation to enhance richness, followed by aging in a combination of stainless steel and oak barrels to achieve its signature smooth and approachable style. This method aims to deliver a wine with both freshness and a luxurious mouthfeel.
