Vinification

For this white wine, the grapes were harvested by hand and pressed whole bunches, including the stems. This allows the juice to flow more easily and also imparts pleasant bitter notes. After a cold maceration with the skins still in place, spontaneous fermentation took place in stainless steel and was aged for six months.
