Production Details Grapes were picked at optimal ripeness and cooled overnight to 4°C. The following morning, part was destemmed and part retained as whole bunches before spontaneous fermentation in open-top fermenters and three weeks on the skins. The wine was pressed into older French-oak barrels, remained in barrel for one month, then was blended and bottled. Finished-wine analysis additionally reports free SO2 of 30 mg/L and volatile acidity of 0.59 g/L.
