WINE MAKING PROCESS
Grapes are sourced from select California vineyards and fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve bright, primary fruit characteristics. Following fermentation, the wine undergoes aging in oak cooperage to integrate sweet spice notes, soften the tannins, and round out the overall structure before bottling.
