WINE MAKING PROCESS
Albariño de Fefiñanes 2023 is produced from 100% Albariño grapes. The winemaking process involves fermentation, with some batches occurring in French barriques, followed by a three-month period of lees stirring (bâtonnage). The wine then undergoes a two-month maturation in stainless steel tanks. Variations in aging are noted, with some sources mentioning extended periods in used Bordeaux barriques with continued bâtonnage, aiming to develop complexity and texture.
