ELABORATION PROCESS
Our method of elaboration is artisanal and tradidcional, our wine has no additives, neither yeast nor clarification. Sulphite in low amounts.
The first selection is made in the vineyards, we only harvest the grapes that are at their optimum level of maturity. Once the grapes enter the cellar, we make a second quality control, to make sure that the grapes we use are in perfect condition.
The first step is to break the grape so that the grape is in contact with the skin of the grape for the next 16 hours. With this process, the maceration, we extract from the skins the aromas, the flavors and the color. Then the pressing will be carried out, and then the alcoholic fermentation will begin, which began spontaneously, once finished, will continue in contact with its lees, until bottling, approximately 18 months.
During this time, malolactic fermentation begins naturally, we partially perform the process in which malic acid is transformed into lactic acid, leaving our wine with less acidity, more body and volume in the mouth.
