WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for this 100% Merlot cuvée is defined by a philosophy of minimal intervention. Grapes are harvested entirely by hand to ensure only pristine fruit is selected. Fermentation is carried out traditionally using only indigenous yeasts naturally present on the grape skins, with no added enzymes, chemical additives, or commercial ferments. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for 12 months in oak barrels, allowing the structural elements to integrate seamlessly while preserving the pure, vibrant fruit character of the Merlot grape.
