WINE MAKING PROCESS
Lotima Selense is produced using a gentle pressing technique. The must is fermented in a combination of old barriques from Vouge, France, and stainless steel tanks to achieve a balance of oak and steel influence. Specifically, 85% of the Solaris grape component is aged in used oak barrels for 18 months. The estate's winemaking philosophy emphasizes minimal intervention, with a focus on expressing the vineyard's character. Sustainability is a key practice, highlighted by the exclusive use of PIWI grape varieties, which are naturally more resistant to fungal diseases.
