WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for this Weissburgunder involves spontaneous fermentation, with a portion of the wine fermented in large wooden barrels and the remainder in stainless steel tanks. Following fermentation, the wine matures on its fine lees until September of the subsequent year, a period of approximately eight months. This aging process, utilizing both stainless steel and large wooden barrels, aims to develop the wine's structure and complexity while preserving its varietal character and vineyard expression.
