VINIFICATION
The Pinot Noir clusters are hand picked into shallow boxes, then gently crushed.
One month after fermentation, the wine is drawn off the gross lees and goes to steel tanks, where it rests until the following spring, when it is inoculated with cultured yeasts.
After a period of 18-24 months on the fine lees, the bottles are hand riddled, and the wine is then disgorged and bottled.
