In the cellar
The Viognier grapes were harvested in the middle of February 2023. The grapes received 3 hours of skin contact in the press to enhance the release of aroma components. The free run juice fermented in stainless steel tank, as well as 1x300 ℓ (2nd fill) and 1x225 ℓ (3rd fill) French oak barrel, total 25% oaking. After fermentation the wine spent 9 months maturing on the lees, lending a beautiful weight to the palate. Only a very light fining was necessary, and filtration was only done at bottling.
