History
Winemaker Mihai Banita use a combination of old world winemaking techniques and modern technology to make wines that reflect the unique characteristics of individual vineyards or ”terroir” where specific varietals grow best. The fusion of superb vineyard sites and thoughtful winemaking allows LacertA to deliver elegant, expressive wines.
Vinification
After manual harvesting the grapes were de-stemmed and crushed to a pneumatic press. The resulting juices were then left to a cold settle for 1-2 days and then racked to stainless steel tanks, inoculated with selected White, dry, blend yeasts and fermented at temperatures between 15-18℃. Following fermentation the young wine was left for a few weeks on its gross less before blending varieties. After blending the wine was clarified, cold stabilized and filtered.
