Winemaking We whole-cluster pressed the grapes and fermented half of the juice cold in a stainless steel tank, stopping malolactic as it went dry. The other half bubbled its way through fermentation in neutral French oak barrels at ambient cellar temperature and was allowed to go fully though malolactic. The two halves were blended together and bottled in February 2024. Enjoy!
