The most non-interventionist winery I've ever visited. They literally spend 95% of their effort on the vineyards. The grapes are harvested, pressed and sent straight to large, oak barrique fermenters in the cellar. They are barely touched after that. No fermentation monitoring, no additions, no worries. Many don't finish fermenting for a year. The result is a clear expression of the vineyard in every bottle and top-tier ageability.
