WINE MAKING PROCESS
The grapes are hand-harvested at optimal ripeness and undergo a gentle, natural vinification process. Fermentation occurs spontaneously using only indigenous yeasts in concrete vats to preserve the fresh fruit profile. The wine is aged for a short period in concrete tanks to maintain its bright energy and primary characteristics. In keeping with natural winemaking principles, no fining or filtration is performed, and sulfur additions are kept to an absolute minimum before bottling.
