Vinification
Grapes are hand-picked and gently pressed by machine so the stalks stay whole and the seeds are not crushed. Alcoholic and malolactic fermentation take place in steel tanks; the pomace stays in contact with the must for 8 days, kept submerged by pumping over. The wine ages only in steel, no wood, before bottling on a waning moon, unfiltered and unclarified.
