Vinification
Careful direct pressing of the Marsanne and Viognier grapes, ensuring a gentle extraction of the fruit’s purest flavors. The juice is then fermented and aged in inox (stainless steel), preserving the freshness and crispness of the grapes while allowing their inherent complexity to unfold. This method highlights the purity of the varietals, ensuring that the wine retains its vibrant acidity, delicate textures, and clean, mineral character, while still allowing the richness and depth of the fruit to shine through in a beautifully balanced wine.
