  Winemaking - Bouchaine - Carneros - Napa Valley
Winemaking at Bouchaine Vineyards in Carneros, Napa Valley is a dynamic process where diversity is created by tailoring vinification and cellar practices to the individual vineyard lots.
As winemakers, our job is to encourage the grapes to give up as much as they can during the fermentation and to retain as much as possible until the wine is consumed.
Winemaker Michael Richmond has also begun experimenting with Hungarian oak barrels from Trust International and finds their attributes to be desirable yet different from those of French oak barrels.
