Ratings & Reviews

Vinification

All fruit is destemmed. The rosé is a made entirely from direct pneumatic press juice. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. No malolactic. The wine remains on its fine lees for 5 months in temp-controlled stainless steel tanks before being filtered with kieselghur (powdery diatomaceous earth) and bottled at the end of February.
