Frequently Asked Questions
Maceration with whole bunches involves fermenting grapes with their stems included.
This technique adds a layer of complexity by extracting subtle tannins and flavours from the stems.
After the maceration phase, the solids (skins and stems) are removed, and fermentation continues with only the liquid juice.
This process refines the wine, ensuring a clean and precise expression of the fruit while preserving its freshness.
Concrete tanks provide a neutral environment that doesn’t impart additional flavours to the wine, allowing the purity of the fruit and terroir to shine through.
Their slightly porous nature also allows for gentle oxygen exchange, which helps develop the wine’s texture and complexity without overpowering its natural characteristics.
