WINE MAKING PROCESS
Azulejo Tinto is produced using grapes harvested by hand. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks with temperature control, a technique designed to preserve the fruit's character. Following fermentation, the wine is aged in traditional oak barriques. This approach aims to create a wine that is both expressive of its origin and accessible for a wide range of consumers, reflecting the producer's commitment to quality and value.
