WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Juno & Hera likely involves careful management of fermentation, potentially with extended maceration to maximize the extraction of color and tannins from the Boğazkere grape. Aging is a significant consideration, with many Boğazkere wines benefiting from time in oak barrels to soften their structure and develop complexity. The harvest of this late-ripening grape is timed to achieve optimal phenolic maturity.
