Vineyard Notes: Sangiovese grapes come from a vineyard on Terboul Mountain, located at 700 meters above sea level. The Merwah grapes come from 150 year old vineyard in Dimane, in Qannoubine Valley at 1,600 meters above sea level. Both vineyards are farmed organically and planted to limestone soils.
Winemaking Notes: The grapes are pressed, and stabulation happens in tank at 8c for 5 days. This allows for the juice and pulp to spend time together before fermentation starts. The wine then starts fermentation for about 20 days at 14c, before being bottled at 3 PSI. The wine completes fermentation in the bottle, where it rests on lees for 5 months. It is then disgorged in February.
