Vinifikation We follow a “less is more” winemaking philosophy with minimal intervention in all of our wines, and the grapes are tasted at regular intervals to determine optimal ripeness and flavor development. We pick our grapes early in the morning when they are still cool, which helps preserve the aromas. The extraction of the juice from the grape skins is done by gentle whole-cluster basket pressing. This is the gentlest way to extract the juice. After the juice has settled for 24 hours at a cool temperature, it is transferred to the fermentation tanks. We rely only on naturally occurring, wild yeasts to start and complete the fermentation process. All of the juice was fermented in older 600-liter barrels. After a very slow fermentation process of about 6 months, followed by another month on the primary lees, the wine was bottled. An extended alcoholic fermentation ensures that the juice remains in constant contact with the fine lees, which adds more complexity and weight to the palate.
