WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Vingården i Klagshamn's 'Iver av Nils Mellbin' begins with hand-harvested Solaris grapes. The grapes are whole-cluster pressed, and the must undergoes natural fermentation using indigenous yeast. A partial malolactic conversion is also employed. The wine is then aged on its fine lees for a total of 12 months, with the first six months spent in a mix of stainless steel and French oak barriques (DAMY and Seguin Moreau, medium-plus toast), and the subsequent six months in stainless steel. Battonage is performed three times during the aging process. Some production details mention the use of new Swedish oak barrels.
