Winemaker Notes
All fermented in Stainless Steel tank using just the slow active VL3 yeasts for temperature control and to maximize the elegant aroma profile. About midway through fermentation, the wine was then racked off it's yeast lees, those lees sediment collected, aerated and then added back to the top of the wine, thus speeding up the yeast ortolicusis and adding a richer overall mouthfeel texture and viscosity.
