After handpicking, the grapes are fermented in stainless steel tanks for 10 days, with three days of cold soaking both prior to and after fermentation on the skins to extract maximum flavor. Meanwhile, the Viognier is fermented in French oak barrels. Aging for 26 months in 300-liter French oak barrels, with 90% first fill and 10% second fill, ensures optimal development. Barrel selection ensures only the finest barrels are chosen.
