WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking for Altos De Tamaron Reserva begins with a cold maceration to capture aromas, followed by fermentation at controlled temperatures (26-28°C) and a 10-day post-fermentation maceration. The wine is then aged for 24 months in a mix of American and French oak barrels, followed by at least 12 months of bottle aging. This meticulous process from vineyard selection to extended maturation is designed to create a complex and well-structured Reserva wine.
