WINE MAKING PROCESS
The 2019 We Forget Too Easily is produced using a distinctive method. The Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc grapes were pressed directly. Subsequently, Carignan juice and destemmed Carignan grapes were added, undergoing a six-week maceration period. Fermentation occurred spontaneously in tanks. Following fermentation, the wine was aged for approximately three years in demi-muids (500-liter old barrels). The winemakers, Anders Frederik Steen and Anne Bruun Blauert, practice organic viticulture and follow a philosophy of minimal intervention, aiming for wines that reflect the terroir and vintage without additives, fining, or filtration.
