WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Manincor Mason 2020 grapes were hand-harvested from a specific vineyard plot. Each parcel was fermented separately in open-top wooden vats using natural yeasts, with a two-week maceration period involving daily manual punching down of the cap. Following fermentation, the wine underwent 16 months of aging in French barriques, with 20-25% being new oak, and was aged on its fine lees. The estate adheres to biodynamic cultivation practices and holds a 'Respect' certification for sustainable viticulture.
