THE PROCESS

The grapes are harvested manually in plastic bins of 18 KG.

These bins are taken to the winery, to start the double selection process, and after to the destemmer machine. The the grape grain is pressed and goes to the tank. The grape juice macerates for some days before the fermentation process starts, with temperatures between 25 and 27 ºC for the red wines and 14 and 15 ºC for the rosé wines.

Depending on the wine, after the fermentation process, we make a prolongated maceration for one or two weeks for the red wines, before being pressed in the neumatic press.

The stabilization of the red wines is after de malolactic fermentation. The wines are storage in stainless-steel tanks or oak barrels depending on the wine style we want.
