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