Frequently Asked Questions
A 30-day maceration allows for a longer extraction of deep flavours, tannins, and colour from the grape skins.
This process adds structure, complexity, and intensity to the wine, helping to balance acidity and enhance the wine's depth.
The extended maceration also ensures that the wine has a rich, full-bodied character and a more nuanced expression of the terroir.
Native yeast fermentation relies on the naturally occurring yeasts present on the grape skins and in the vineyard environment.
This process enhances the wine's connection to its terroir, capturing its true expression.
Native yeasts can lead to a more complex and distinctive profile, often with greater subtlety and a more authentic sense of place, compared to fermentation with cultured yeasts.
Aging in barrels, particularly in a small proportion (20%), imparts subtle complexity, adding texture and flavours such as spice and vanilla to the wine.
It also allows for some oxygen interaction, which softens the wine’s structure and enhances its overall harmony.
The remaining aging in stainless steel tanks helps preserve the wine’s freshness and fruit-driven character, creating a balanced wine with both complexity and vibrancy.
