Nuanced, developed, very fresh taste with hints of red apples, orange, nuts, dried apricots and spices
Winemaking Process: 100% Solaris being gently pressed, clarified with gravity and separated into three parts. Fermentation is done naturally with indigenous yeast from the vineyard. One part fermented and raised in old oak barrels. One part fermented in an egg-shaped tank. One part in a stainless steel tank.
After finishing it’s slow fermentation the wines have been resting on their lees for 18 months, before being blended together by gravity and bottled in July 2022. A microdose of sulfur (10mg/l) was added at blending, to ensure a safe transition between tank and consumer.
Open tank fermentation, lees stirring, pumping over and racking can all play a role during vinification, while oxidative aging in allows gradual air contact with the wine. Oak barrels & concrete tanks are most often used for such styles, and the more intense styles are often made under flor
