🛠️ Winemaking
The grapes arrive at the winery in 24kg boxes. They are manually selected, followed by destemming, skin maceration, and gentle pneumatic pressing. The must ferments in stainless steel tanks at low temperatures. Light stabilization and filtration follow. No animal products are used in the process, making this wine suitable for vegan consumers. Special care was taken in the winemaking process, minimizing any intervention, with the aim of producing a wine that truly expresses the characteristics of the grapes and the terroir.
