WINE MAKING PROCESS
The grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness, destemmed, and traditionally vinified in temperature-controlled concrete and stainless steel vats to preserve the fresh fruit character. Extraction is managed gently through pump-overs. The wine is aged entirely in concrete tanks for several months before bottling, avoiding oak influence to maintain the vibrant, fruit-forward profile and soft tannins characteristic of the estate's style.
