How Patz & Hall Achieves Efficient, High Quality Whole Cluster Pressing with Willmes SIGMA
Background: Expanding capacity for a growing Chardonnay program Patz & Hall’s highly regarded Chardonnays gain much of their acclaim from the winemaker’s ability to foster the unique expression of the grapes from each small, family-owned partner vineyard.
