WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Children of the Revolution Pinot Noir 2023 is produced from grapes harvested early in the morning to maintain freshness. The winemaking process involves destemming and crushing the grapes, followed by fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. Post-fermentation, the wine is aged for three months on its lees in stainless steel tanks. This approach avoids oak aging, emphasizing the pure fruit character and a lighter body. The wine is designed with a focus on achieving a lower alcohol content while ensuring it remains drinkable and engaging.
