WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Schubert Marion's Vineyard Pinot Noir 2021 begins with hand-picked and carefully selected grapes. The fruit is 100% de-stemmed and undergoes cold maceration before fermentation in stainless steel vats. During fermentation, gentle pigeage (punch-downs) is employed. The wine remains on its skins for three weeks. Following fermentation, it is aged for 18 months in French oak barriques, with 35% new and 65% used oak for the 2021 vintage. Schubert Wines emphasizes a philosophy of uncompromising quality and traditional winemaking techniques.
