Vinification Details
Before de-stemming and crushing, hand-picked grapes are cooled to 0C. The low temperature of the crushed grapes makes it possible to avoid the use of sulphur dioxide (SO) at this stage, as low temperatures inactivate bacteria and yeast. This allows for a cold soak for a few days before fermentation starts. At the end of this soaking period the juice and grapes are allowed to warm and are then inoculated with selected yeast. Temperatures are regulated to around 25C
