Bruno de Tastes winemaking is in keeping with French Winemaking tradition and know-how together with New World technology.

Grapes are hand harvested and crushed immediately and pressed in traditional Basket Press, The juice is then settled for Debourdage at 2C. for at least 48 Hours.

Fermentation takes place at 15 C. constant with a secret selection of Yeast Strain added for each wine. No Sulphur Dioxide is used until after the fermentation is completed.

The Chenin Blanc and Viognier are never wooded, but are kept on the Fine Lees, after a first Racking , for several month.

The Chardonnay and the Noble Classic undergo a subtle wood aging for a short period.
The White Wines are usually bottled after 8 months.

The reds are de-stemmed and placed in specially designed open stainless steel fermenters , where fermentation takes place at 20C.

Vatting of the reds varies from year to year but is never less than 2 weeks and can go for up to 4 weeks. After vatting a light pressing is done and the wine settles and undergoes malolactic fermentation in closed stainless steel tanks at between 15 and 18C.

After a month or so the wines goes into French Oak Barrique for between 15 and 24 months.
