| Wine making | Harvesting of the Chardonnay and Viognier grapes took place in mid to late August, in the very early morning hours, so that the grapes arrived in the cellar intact and not stressed by the high temperatures of the day. The musts were subjected to cryo-maceration at 4 °C for four to six hours, after which the grapes were softly pressed and transferred to settling tanks, where clarification took place. In March, Chardonnay and Viognier were blended, when the winemaker felt they were ready to combine and definitively create the Paxmentis Bianco blend. |
