WINE MAKING PROCESS

Following fermentation, the wine is aged for six months on its lees, a practice that contributes to its texture and complexity. The wine is then bottled unfiltered. The estate employs organic and biodynamic farming methods, abstaining from synthetic products, herbicides, and chemical fertilizers.
