WINE MAKING PROCESS
The 2023 Summer Wolf Ette is produced using spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts in cement tanks. A key technique is the 8 to 9 days of skin maceration, which contributes to the wine's texture and minerality. Following fermentation, the wine ages in cement tanks for several months. It is then bottled unfiltered and unfined. The vineyard practices are natural and organic, with biodynamic elements incorporated. The producer's philosophy emphasizes minimal intervention, aiming to create wines that are expressive of their origin and enjoyable to drink.
