We embrace minimal intervention in our winemaking by utilizing gentle extraction techniques, such as soft pressing or extended maceration, which allows for the natural development of tannins without excessive manipulation. We implement low levels of sulfur dioxide as a mild preservative, ensuring the wines maintain stability while honoring natural processes. Whenever possible, indigenous yeasts are used which are found naturally on grape skins reducing the need for commercial yeast strains, supporting the unique terroir expression.

We're using a variety of fermentation methods, meant to extract or showcase the essence of each varietal, block and vineyard. Stainless steel for freshness and purity of aromatics, concrete for tannin integration and depth, barrel fermentation for maximum integration of wood and fruit giving the most luxurious and opulent combination of fruit and structure. Each wine has a unique combination of all three or sometimes only one. Regardless of the method chosen, each wine is meant to exude the elegance and precision we look for in each of our wines.

We chose to design our own barrels, working with a cooperage for ten years to identify where we wanted the wood to come from, how long we wanted it seasoned and lastly how it was to be toasted. Every aspect of them, meant to amplify our stylistic goals. We designed both a white and red version with a handful of toasts to add layers of complexity to what we feel is a perfect barrel for us. We called these barrels, Lumen.
