WINE MAKING PROCESS
The grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness, typically during the cool early morning hours to preserve freshness. Upon arrival at the winery, the grapes undergo gentle pressing followed by temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks. This process ensures the preservation of delicate primary fruit aromas and crisp acidity. The wine is aged on fine lees for a short period in stainless steel before bottling, enhancing its texture and complexity without the influence of oak.
