Frequently Asked Questions
Native yeast, also known as indigenous yeast, comes naturally from the grape skins and the environment of the winery. Using native yeast for fermentation allows the wine to develop more naturally, showcasing the true character of the vineyard and its terroir.
A 30-day maceration with 1/3 whole clusters means that the grape skins and stems are left to ferment together for a longer period. This technique enhances the complexity of the wine, extracting deeper flavours, tannins, and colour.
Aging in large foudre (big wooden vats) allows the wine to breathe gently, softening it and adding complexity without overwhelming it with too much wood influence.
Concrete eggs, on the other hand, create a stable temperature environment and encourage natural movement of the wine, enhancing its purity and texture.
