WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for this Viognier begins with grapes cultivated on clay-limestone soils. A notable technique involves harvesting the grapes at night to maintain cool temperatures. Following harvest, the grapes undergo cold maceration and skin contact before pressing. Fermentation is initiated with specific yeast inoculation. To preserve freshness and finesse, malolactic fermentation is deliberately avoided. The wine is subsequently aged in stainless steel tanks, a method chosen to retain its vibrant fruit and aromatic qualities.
