WINE MAKING PROCESS
Crafted with minimal intervention, the grapes undergo spontaneous fermentation using only ambient, indigenous yeasts in small 10-hectoliter plastic vats. There is no temperature control during fermentation, allowing the wine to develop its natural character. The wine is bottled unfiltered and unfined, with no added sulfur, preserving its raw, living profile.
