Both varieties de-stemmed, co-fermented spontaneously, pressed, and finished in tank — no fining, no filtration, no sulfur.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Maximizing the mouthfeel and minimizing the tannins was the name of the game,\" says Christensen. The wine delivers — dark and dense, but carrying it lightly.
