WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process focuses entirely on preserving fresh, primary fruit characteristics. Grapes are hand-harvested from basaltic, clay-heavy soils in the Serra Gaúcha hills. Upon arrival at the winery, the grapes undergo destemming followed by a short maceration on the skins to extract its vibrant purple-red color. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks using selected yeasts to emphasize the grapey, fresh-fruit profile. The wine is completely unaged, seeing no oak contact, and is filtered and bottled young to maintain its immediate freshness.
