Winemaking Information
Grapes are manually destemmed, then foot trodden in open vats while live music is played. The wines then ferment in open vats, with Manuel breaking the cap manually (literally with his hands) when he sees fit. They are then racked manually to barrel, stainless or fiberglass for élevage. Nothing is added or taken away to the juice. Any rackings are done manually through a small tube.
SO2: No sulfur added to the wine
Fining/Filtration: Unfined/Unfiltered
Vineyard Information

Fun Facts: Bottled in an "industrial" bottle with a crown cap "Pierre Beauger style". If you understand that reference, then you are one hell of a natural wine nerd.
