Our Winemaking
Winemaking
Hand-picked clusters are brought into the winery and processed on-site. Our whites are whole-cluster pressed and our reds are de-stemmed prior to alcoholic fermentation. Sugar levels are constantly monitored during this time. When fermentation is complete, red wine must (term for wine & skins) is pneumatic bladder-pressed before being placed into barrels for aging. All wine is produced using stainless steel equipment that is rigorously cleaned and sanitized.
Aging
Our wine is primarily aged in French and Hungarian oak barrels, and our white wine is aged briefly in stainless steel. Through the aging process, wine is topped, tasted, and tested continuously. The red wine is racked, stabilized, and filtered for clarity. We age it in a cellar with constant temperature, humidity, and darkness. Once the wine has been aged in barrels, it is bottled and left to age once again to achieve the correct balance of fruit, acidity, and complexity.
