The 2023 Maceration blend consists of 45% Grüner Veltliner, 31% Kerner, 19% Friulano, and 5% Ribolla Gialla. Each variety was 100% whole berry destemmed and fermented for approximately 1 month on skins, the entirety of primary fermentation, then pressed at dryness. This wine incorporated two Novum amphora vessels, one for skin-fermented Kerner and the other a co-ferment of Friulano & Ribolla Gialla. The grapes were fermented in these vessels, pressed and then the wine returned to them for aging – bringing and earthy base note to the blend. Fermentations and elevage were kept separate by variety, aged for 11 months, then blended and bottled in September 2024, unfined and unfiltered.
