In the cellar
The grapes, harvested at an optimal ripeness of 23.5 - 24.5 Balling, underwent destemming and crushing, followed by 6 days on the skins (2 days of cold maceration and 4 days of fermentation). The fermentation process occurred over 4 days at 26-28°C, with 3-4 pump overs daily. After pressing, the majority of the wine returned to concrete and stainless steel tanks. The wine is predominantly unoaked, maintaining its pure expression. However, to enhance complexity, 14% of the blend undergoes maturation for 8 months in older fill French Oak barrels before being reintegrated during the blending process.
