WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of 5 Finques Reserva involves the separate vinification of its six grape varieties. Following harvest, grapes undergo controlled maceration at 25°C. The resulting wines are then aged for 16 to 18 months in a mix of French and American oak barrels. The modern Castillo de Perelada winery also emphasizes sustainability in its practices.
