Pressing Method Gravity-Fed Pressing With Juice Splitting
Production Details Simple Guyot pruning. Grapes were transported in screwless, pumpless tipper trailers and received and sorted without crushing, with parcels kept separate. The gravity winery handled filling, juice-fraction pressing and extraction before cold clarification with pulp maceration. Fermentation proceeded at 18°C for 6–8 weeks in temperature-controlled stainless steel. Maturation comprised 3 months on whole lees with regular stirring followed by 6 months on fine lees, with no wooden-barrel contact. Final blending was also performed by gravity after lees maturation and tasting.
Tasting Notes Crystalline pink with salmon nuances; red fruit and wild-berry aromas including raspberry, wild strawberry and currant, opening to exotic-fruit notes and pronounced minerality; intense fruit, tangy rounded berry character, freshness and a long, elegant finish.
