WINE MAKING PROCESS
The grapes are harvested from certified organic vineyards in Margaret River. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve the vibrant primary fruit characteristics of the Sangiovese grape. To cater to chemically sensitive consumers, the wine is crafted with minimal intervention and without the addition of sulfur dioxide (preservative-free), ensuring a pure expression of the fruit and terroir.
