Wine Making
Hand-picked over 6 distinct days, all fruit was hand-sorted and destemmed or crushed to small open vats. Stalks were judiciously added back to select parcels for extra aroma and complexity. One single small vat of whole bunches was included in the final blend. A mix of natural fermentation and inoculated yeasts. Cuvaison length ranged from 1 to 3 weeks on skins. Hand-plunged a maximum of once per day for gentle extraction and integration of tannin.
