WINE MAKING PROCESS
The grapes for this blend are harvested during the cool of the night to preserve their delicate primary fruit aromatics and natural acidity. Upon arrival at the winery, the fruit is gently pressed, and the juice is clarified before undergoing cool fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. Selected yeast strains are utilized to enhance the floral and spicy characteristics of the varieties. The fermentation is stopped slightly early to retain a touch of natural residual sweetness, balancing the crisp acidity before early bottling.
