WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Alon wine undergoes fermentation on skins for 10 to 20 days at 28ºC, followed by full malolactic fermentation. It is then aged for one year in French oak barrels. The vineyards are managed using sustainable farming practices. The 2019 vintage required significant attention to the vines to ensure quality.
