WINE MAKING PROCESS
The grapes are harvested by hand at optimum maturity during the cool night hours to preserve freshness. After gentle direct pressing, the juice undergoes temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks using indigenous yeasts. The wine is aged on its fine lees for several months to enhance texture and complexity before bottling with minimal sulfur additions.
