WINE MAKING PROCESS
Grapes are 100% selectively hand-harvested from steep south and south-east facing slopes. Chilled grape handling and cold skin contact under a protective carbon dioxide atmosphere preserve delicate varietal aromas. Gentle pressing minimizes bitter tannins, followed by temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks using selected natural yeasts. The wine ages on fine lees in stainless steel until bottled.
