WINEMAKING & MATURATION
The grapes were hand-harvested on April 10, 2024, at 32° Balling by our vineyard team and placed into small crates. The whole bunches were then loaded into the press and pressed over a two-day cycle. After pressing, the juice settled overnight and was inoculated with a pure/commercial yeast strain. A portion of the juice underwent barrel fermentation in second-fill 300L French oak barrels at 12° to 14°C. Fermentation was halted by means of thermoflash (pasteurization) at specific alcohol and sugar levels. The wine did not undergo malolactic fermentation and was left to age.
