WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Mooi begins with grapes that have undergone twelve hours of skin contact before pressing. Fermentation takes place cool, between 12-14 degrees Celsius, in stainless steel tanks, with inoculation using natural and organic-approved yeasts. After fermentation, the wine rests on its lees for several months to develop complexity and texture. A philosophy of minimal intervention guides the entire process, aiming to showcase the grapes and their terroir.
