Winemaking The wine is fermented entirely using native yeast. There were no additions made to the wine that alter the naturally occurring juice chemistry. Half of the pressed-juice is fermented in neutral French oak barrels, while the other half is fermented in a stainless steel tank. Malolactic Fermentation is allowed to proceed in all of the wine in barrels, after which it spent 6 months sur lie. Malolactic fermentation is not allowed to progress in stainless steel tank. The final composite blend of the two, we achieve a wine that draws the best of both worlds.
