Frequently Asked Questions

What is semi-carbonic maceration?

Semi-carbonic maceration is a winemaking process where whole grapes at the bottom of a tank are crushed under their own weight, releasing juice that ferments naturally. Meanwhile, the intact grapes on top begin to ferment internally due to carbon dioxide.

This technique brings out vibrant fruit flavours and softens tannins.

Why is the wine aged on lees for a year in stainless steel tanks?

Aging on lees (the spent yeast and grape particles after fermentation) enhances the wine’s texture, adding depth, richness, and subtle toasty notes.

Stainless steel tanks preserve the wine’s fresh and pure character, emphasizing its bright fruit and mineral-driven profile.

Why is the wine bottled unfiltered and without added sulfur?

Bottling unfiltered retains the wine’s natural complexity, as it avoids removing any fine particles that contribute to flavour and texture.

Omitting added sulfur preserves the wine’s purity and ensures it reflects the vineyard’s biodynamic practices.
