Mosto Fermentation
Proces mosto fermentation to to, co wyróżnia ten lot. Po selektywnym zbiorze i selekcji przez flotację wiśnie są depulpowane, a do fermentacji trafia sok z łupin - gęsty, słodki, bogaty w cukry. Fermentacja w plastikowych beczkach trwa 24–36 godzin, z regularnym obracaniem, żeby płyn równomiernie rozprowadzał się na każde ziarno. Potem mycie, 21 dni suszenia na podwyższonych łóżkach, do idealnej wilgotności 10–12%.
