WINE MAKING PROCESS
Bodegas Baigorri employs a modern winemaking approach focused on gentle handling and quality. Grapes are sourced from vineyards in Rioja Alavesa, with manual harvesting and meticulous selection. The winery's gravity-flow system allows for the natural movement of grapes and juice, avoiding pumps. Fermentation takes place with native yeasts in stainless steel and oak vats, followed by long macerations. The wine then undergoes aging for 14 months in a mix of French and American oak barrels before bottling.
