Frequently Asked Questions

What are indigenous yeasts and why are they used in fermentation?

Indigenous yeasts are the natural yeasts found on the grapes and in the vineyard environment. Using them for fermentation allows the wine to express the true character of the terroir, creating a more authentic and complex profile.

What is cold maceration ?

Cold maceration is a winemaking technique where the grapes are left to sit at a low temperature for several hours before fermentation begins.

This process helps extract more delicate aromatic compounds from the skins, enhancing the wine's fragrance and freshness without extracting too many tannins.

How does aging in stainless steel compare to aging in a wooden cask?

Aging in stainless steel preserves the purity and freshness of the wine, allowing the natural fruit flavours and aromas to remain bright and clean.

On the other hand, aging in a 700L wooden cask introduces subtle oxygen exposure and micro-level tannins, which contribute to greater complexity and texture in the wine.
