WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Augustus Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot is produced from a blend of these two classic varietals. The grapes are likely fermented in stainless steel tanks, with malolactic fermentation contributing to a smoother texture. Following fermentation, the wine is aged in oak barrels, a process that imparts structure and complexity. The specific techniques are designed to allow the characteristics of the Penedès terroir and the chosen grape varietals to be expressed in the final wine. Organic farming practices are central to the winery's approach.
