WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process at Maison Lissner begins with manual sorting of grapes. Fermentation is spontaneous, utilizing indigenous yeasts without any added inputs. The majority of the wines are bottled unfiltered and unsulfited, allowing for a natural expression of the grape and terroir. Aging often occurs in demi-muids, large oak barrels that contribute subtle complexity.
