WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Marion Cabernet Sauvignon 2020 is produced from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. The harvest takes place between late September and early October. A key technique involves partially drying about half of the grapes for approximately 30-40 days before fermentation. The remaining grapes are harvested in a super-ripe state. The two lots are fermented separately. After fermentation, the wines are aged in 350-liter Slavonian oak barrels for about 30 months. The two distinct vinifications are kept separate for this period before being assembled and bottled.
