More info: Grapes are hand-harvested before taken to the winery, crushed and macerated for a period, which kickstarts the spontaneous fermentation using indigenous yeast. The wine is moved by gravity along different floors and the final wine is bottled unfiltered and unfined with minimal use of sulphur.
