WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for this Pinot Noir involves several key techniques. Grapes undergo a maceration period of three weeks, followed by gentle pressing. Fermentation is spontaneous, occurring in used wooden fermentation vats. The wine is then aged for an extended period, first in 300-liter oak barrels on its own yeast for 12 months, and subsequently in larger oak barrels for another 6 months. This process is underpinned by the producer's commitment to organic and biodynamic farming practices.
