WINE MAKING PROCESS
Sourced from certified organic estate vineyards in Maipú, Mendoza, the grapes are harvested entirely by hand. In the cellar, the must undergoes maceration and fermentation using only native, wild yeasts. Adhering to strict natural winemaking principles, no corrective acids or additives are used, and absolutely no sulfur dioxide is added during the process. The wine is completely unoaked to preserve pure, primary varietal fruit expression, and is bottled unfined and unfiltered, maintaining a natural, slight turbidity.
