WINE MAKING PROCESS
The grapes are harvested by hand from 25-year-old vines grown on clay soils. In the cellar, a portion of the Sauvignon Blanc grapes undergoes fermentation as whole berries, adding texture and complexity. The wine is fermented and aged in a 1000-liter acacia barrel, which imparts a subtle, non-toast wood character compared to traditional oak. It is bottled unfined, unfiltered, and with zero or minimal sulfur added, preserving its natural energy and cloudy, textured profile.
