WINE MAKING PROCESS
The grapes are mechanically harvested in early October and undergo a slow, gentle pressing in a pneumatic press. After a two-day static cold settling to clarify the must, fermentation is initiated naturally by wild yeasts. The wine is then aged in second- and third-use French oak barrels. This neutral oak program allows the wine to develop a rich, creamy texture and subtle complexity without overpowering the pure, vibrant fruit character of the Chenin Blanc.
