Frequently Asked Questions

How do alluvial soils influence the wine's character?

Alluvial soils, composed of sand, silt, and gravel, offer excellent drainage and mineral richness, which contribute to the wine's fresh and mineral-driven complexity.

These soils also encourage deep root systems, helping vines access consistent hydration, even in challenging conditions.

Why are the white varieties macerated with Pinot Noir pomace?

Pomace refers to the skins, seeds, and stems left after grape pressing.

Macerating white varieties with Pinot Noir pomace enhances texture, structure, and adds subtle red fruit nuances to the wine.

This unique technique also boosts complexity, creating a wine with layered flavours that blends characteristics of both white and red winemaking styles.

What is the benefit of aging on lees in stainless steel tanks?

Aging on lees (dead yeast cells) for a year adds creaminess, depth, and complexity to the wine while preserving its fresh and vibrant qualities.

Stainless steel tanks prevent oxygen exposure, maintaining the wine’s crispness and ensuring its bright, expressive aromas shine through.
