WINE DETAILS
The grapes are hand-harvested, destemmed, and gently pressed. Only natural yeast are used and the juice undergoes an extended maceration. Vinified in barrel and aged for 12-24 months in oak. Quartz drinks well in its youth, however, decanting is highly recommended. The wine also shows aging potential up to a decade.
