All grapes have white juice regardless of if they are green or dark skins. The wine is made from our versatile merlot grapes. When making red wines the juice is left on the skins and this is where the flavours and colours come from. When making a Blanc De Noir the process is altered a bit and we leave the grapes with the skins for a maximum of 8 hours. This is where the additional colour comes from. Thereafter it follows the same process as making white wines. Having a Merlot as the source it is then easy to understand where the flavours come from.
