WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Alamos Organic Malbec involves a 2-day cold maceration followed by fermentation for 9-15 days at an average temperature of 28°C, with an additional 2-4 days of post-fermentation maceration. These techniques are designed to extract color, aroma, and flavor from the Malbec grapes. The wine is then aged, typically in a combination of American and French oak barrels, to further develop its profile and texture. The organic certification indicates specific farming practices were followed in the vineyard.
