WINE MAKING PROCESS
The grapes are harvested by hand and destemmed before fermentation. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel or concrete vats to preserve the vibrant fruit character. The wine is aged primarily in concrete tanks or large neutral oak foudres to avoid dominant wood flavors, maintaining the purity of the Southern Rhône terroir. It is bottled unfined and unfiltered, in line with Kermit Lynch's importing philosophy.
