Frequently Asked Questions
Rounded pebbles help the vines thrive by storing heat during the day and releasing it at night, ensuring the grapes ripen evenly in the warm Mediterranean climate.
They also improve drainage, preventing waterlogging and encouraging deep root growth, which contributes to the wine’s vibrant and complex character.
Cold maceration involves chilling the grapes before fermentation to gently extract fresh fruit flavours, aromas, and colour without adding tannins.
Pump-over is a winemaking method where the juice is carefully circulated over the grape skins during maceration.
This ensures the flavours, colours, and tannins are evenly extracted, creating a wine with more depth, structure, and complexity.
