The wine is then pressed for free-run juice and just the start of the pressed-off juice. Lightly filtered (only the last 10 percent of the tank to remove lees sediment). \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWine is aged 6 months in epoxy tanks, with a small amount of sulfur added at bottling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePersonality: Citrus, fresh and tannic!
