WINE MAKING PROCESS
Envinate crafts Alahra through a philosophy of minimal intervention and respect for nature. Grapes are organically farmed and hand-harvested, then fermented with indigenous yeasts in concrete tanks, often with whole bunches and foot-treading. Aging occurs in concrete and neutral oak, preserving the wine's vibrant fruit and terroir-driven character. This meticulous process ensures a pure, fresh, and expressive Mediterranean red.
