WINE MAKING PROCESS
The grapes are hand-harvested and sorted. Approximately 80% of the grapes are pressed slowly as whole clusters, with 50% free-run juice utilized. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. The wine then undergoes aging on its lees for 3-5 months in stainless steel tanks, with periodic stirring (bâtonnage).
