Whole cluster pressed chardonnay. Only neutral barrels are employed. We don’t promote or prohibit malolactic fermentation, allowing wine to be in balance, bright and elegant.
CELLARING
All of the wines are produced with the intention of aging and cellaring for at least 10 years and can easily be enjoyed after 15 years.
We have an uncompromising commitment to quality. Using sustainable and organic farming methods, we work to achieve a balance between the site, the vines, and the microclimates in each vineyard.
