WINE MAKING PROCESS
Hand-picked grapes are whole-bunch pressed directly into French oak barriques (58% new oak). Fermentation takes place entirely in barrel, with a portion undergoing natural wild fermentation without yeast inoculation. The wine undergoes 100% natural malolactic fermentation and is matured for 8 months in French oak on yeast lees with regular battonage to build rich texture and mouthfeel.
