Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What does it mean that it is 'Lo Mevushal'?
It means that the wine has not undergone a pasteurization or boiling process. This preserves all the original organoleptic qualities of the grape and allows for a much more noble evolution in the bottle.
Is it suitable for aging?
Absolutely. Although delicious in its youth, its structure and acidity allow for positive evolution in the cellar over the next 5 to 8 years.
