Wine Making
Wine Making
A blend of the 3 'noble' varieties of the island, the Rola Pipa was aged in a slightly different way to what would be traditional, with no oak. It was aged on lees for 10 months, in stainless steel tanks. This is to develope the minerality of the wine, but also to add weight, texture, and complexity. Remaining in stainless steel helps to preserve the vibrancy of flavours, balancing crispness, and natural salinity.
