Grapes are harvested parcel by parcel at optimal ripeness, with careful hand and selective machine picking to preserve pristine fruit. In the winery, lots are fermented separately in temperature-controlled vessels to capture varietal purity and regional character, followed by extended maceration where appropriate to build structure.
