Harvest & Vinification
After rigorous harvest selection and cluster thinning, the grapes are manually harvested and 100% de-stemmed. After pellicular maceration, the juice ferments in tanks with native yeast. No malolactic fermentation in order to preserve freshness. The wine then ages in stainless steel tanks until bottling the winter following harvest.
