From the Winery
Certified organic fruit was hand-sorted before being whole-bunch-pressed and lightly settled. Wild yeast was used for fermentation, which was maintained at a slow rate through low temperatures, to enhance the primary fruit characters. At around 10 brix, the wine was transferred to older French barriques to finish fermentation and to mature on yeast lees for around 6 months.
Organic. Biodynamic. Suitable for vegans, contains sulphites.
