WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Arivat Negra Mole is vinified using traditional methods to express the character of the Negra Mole grape. Grapes are typically fermented in stainless steel tanks to preserve fruit purity. Aging may occur in stainless steel or in oak barrels, depending on the desired style, to add complexity and structure. The winemaking process aims to balance the grape's inherent characteristics with a modern approach to wine production.
