WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Mont-Redon Côtes du Rhône Réserve Blanc 2023 begins with whole-bunch pressing of the grapes. The resulting juice is then fermented in stainless steel tanks at cool temperatures to maintain freshness and aromatic intensity. Following fermentation, the wine is aged on its fine lees in stainless steel for several months, a process that can impart subtle texture and complexity. The wine is bottled relatively soon after the vintage, typically in February of the following year, to preserve its vibrant character. No malolactic conversion is performed to retain the wine's natural acidity.
