WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Izi Kmetija Stekar 2023 is produced using organic farming methods. The grapes are hand-harvested from vines grown on flysch soil. In the cellar, spontaneous fermentation with natural yeasts is employed. The wine undergoes a short maceration period on the skins, lasting around 20 days. It is then aged in stainless steel tanks and bottled unfiltered. Minimal or no added sulfites are used during the winemaking process.
