Winemaking: Harvested early in the morning in Alsace and driven 3 hours by truck to the village of Domblans in the Jura. The whole bunches of grapes were placed directly into stainless-steel tanks and macerated whole cluster for 10 days. Fermentation began spontaneously using only the naturally occurring indigenous yeasts. On the 11^th day the grapes were manually pressed using an old basket press, with the press cycle taking 12 hours to complete. The juice was given 1 night of settling, before racking off the gross lees into a stainless-steel tank to complete fermentation. No sulfur additions were made during the vinification of this wine.

Maturation: Aged 8 months in stainless-steel tanks. Bottled without fining or filtration.
