WINE MAKING PROCESS

While specific technical details on fermentation vessels, temperatures, yeast types, and aging processes are not provided, the producer's approach combines traditional winemaking methods with modern precision. The wine's profile suggests aging, likely in oak, which contributes to its structure and aroma complexity, as indicated by the presence of cedar notes. The overall winemaking philosophy aims for quality and authenticity, drawing from Italian heritage within the South African context.
