Viticulture: Sustainable, no herbicides or chemical fertilizers.
Vinification: 100% de-stemmed, cooled to 14°C. 2-3 week ambient yeast fermentation in concrete or stainless steel tanks with gentle punch-downs and pump-overs. Aged 18 months on the lees in oak barrels (5-15% new). Racked in the spring and bottled one month later. No fining, no filtration. Minimal SO2.
