WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Marani Tvishi 2016 is produced using Tsolikouri grapes harvested by hand in late October or early November. Fermentation occurs in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. To achieve its semi-sweet character, the fermentation process is stopped by cooling, which preserves the natural grape sugars. The wine is then typically aged in stainless steel to maintain its freshness.
