Description
The grapes are left 100% whole bunch and lightly stomped by foot to extract a little juice. Very gentle pumpovers are performed once or twice daily throughout fermentation, as we want to minimise extraction and maintain as many whole bunches as possible. After pressing, the wine is aged in a concrete tank for 10 months. We feel that elevage in concrete helps to showcase the purity of this vineyard site.
