WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Terre Sauvage Pinot Noir is produced using low-temperature fermentation to retain its aromatic profile. It undergoes malolactic fermentation and is then briefly aged in French oak barriques. Pea-based vegan fining agents are utilized in the process. The winemaking approach prioritizes organic farming and environmental sustainability, aiming to craft wines that reflect their origin with finesse and elegance.
