WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process at BOND focuses on minimal intervention to highlight the distinctiveness of each single vineyard. The Quella vineyard is managed with exacting farming standards by an in-house team, ensuring grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness. Following harvest, fermentation is conducted in a way that allows the vineyard's character to shine through, contributing to the wine's structure and complexity. The wine then undergoes aging, likely in oak barrels, for an extended period to develop its full potential and aging capacity. This approach prioritizes the expression of terroir above all else.
