WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Simonis Gew L'Indien is produced using natural winemaking principles. A key technique employed is skin contact fermentation, classifying it as an orange wine. This method involves allowing the grape skins to remain in contact with the juice during fermentation, which influences the wine's color, texture, and aromatic profile. The grapes are sourced from vineyards managed with high environmental standards, indicated by organic certifications. The 2021 vintage benefited from a balanced growing season, contributing to the ripeness of the selected grapes.
