We harvest our best Merlot from our "Fushe - Zogisht" vineyard which has an
altitude o f 450m and experiences high solar exposure. The vineyard i s highly
managed including limited yield levels and is harvested by hand. We employ the
classic 48-hour maceration method and pump over three times per day.
Fermentation occurs in closed stainless-steel containers for 1 6 days with a
fermentation temperature of between 72 - 79 F. After fermentation the wine is then
aged in French oak barrels for sixteen months.
