Vinification of Wente Vineyards Small Lot GSM

The powerful Small Lot GSM from the USA is a cuvée vinified from the grape varieties Grenache Noir, Mourvèdre and Syrah.

This is followed by fermentation in small wooden barrels and stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. Vinification is followed by maturation on the fine lees for several months before the wine is finally bottled.
