WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Maison Vulpin Chasselas 2022 is produced using a natural winemaking approach. Grapes are hand-harvested and destemmed, followed by a 30-hour maceration period before pressing. Fermentation is spontaneous, utilizing native yeasts, and takes place in stainless steel tanks. The wine is subsequently aged in the same stainless steel environment. It is bottled unfined and unfiltered, with no sulfur dioxide (SO2) added throughout the process. The vineyard practices are biodynamic, emphasizing harmony with nature and lunar cycles.
