WINE MAKING PROCESS
Fred #12 is crafted using a minimal intervention approach. Grapes are hand-picked and fermented separately in open casks with native yeasts for 14 days, with manual mixing. The Alibernet from the 2023 vintage was aged for 15 months in old barrels. The final cuvée is blended and then bottled by gravity without fining or filtration. The wine is sealed with a crown cap to preserve its natural character and freshness. No sulfur is added during the winemaking process.
