Fermentation is spontaneous with a healthy share of whole clusters and gentle daily pump overs to favor perfume over extraction, followed by a long élevage in mostly used barrels and bottling without fining or filtration with minimal sulfur</p><p>This wine is offered from a private cellar, Terms and Conditions for Private Cellars apply. </p>
