WINE MAKING PROCESS
While specific vinification details for the 2024 vintage are not yet available, the 2023 vintage provides insight into Wine Mechanics' approach. The Pinot Noir grapes were whole-bunch pressed, a gentle method that helps preserve delicate fruit aromas and freshness. Fermentation and aging primarily took place in stainless steel (90%), ensuring the wine's crisp, clean fruit profile remained at the forefront. A small portion (10%) was aged in old barrels, likely contributing subtle texture without imparting overt oak flavors, maintaining the wine's lively character. The 2023 vintage was bottled in March 2024, suggesting a similar quick turnaround for the 2024 to capture its youthful vibrancy.
