WINE MAKING PROCESS
Hoof & Lur is crafted using traditional and minimal-intervention techniques. The 100% Moschofilero grapes are sourced from high-altitude vineyards and undergo spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts in concrete tanks and terra cotta spheres. A key characteristic is the extended skin contact, lasting three months for the 2022 vintage, which defines it as an orange wine. Following fermentation, the wine is aged on its fine lees for three months to enhance complexity and texture. It is then bottled unfined and unfiltered, preserving its natural character. The winery employs certified sustainable farming practices.
