Vinification and aging

The winemaking process for Ermitage Ex-Voto Blanc 2016 is rooted in tradition, combined with modern techniques. The hand-harvested grapes are carefully selected before being gently pressed. The juice is then vinified in oak barrels, where it ferments slowly, allowing for a perfect integration of aromas. Aging for several months on the lees gives the wine unparalleled complexity and aromatic richness. This meticulous attention to detail at every stage of the winemaking process makes Ex-Voto Blanc a benchmark within the Hermitage appellation.
