WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Baigorri Crianza Tempranillo begins with hand-harvested grapes that are meticulously sorted berry by berry using specialized tables. Destemmed grapes undergo low-temperature maceration in stainless steel tanks, followed by malolactic fermentation. The wine is then aged for over 14 months, with 90% of the barrels being French oak and 10% American oak. Bodegas Baigorri employs sustainable agriculture practices and aims to create wines that reflect the unique characteristics of the Rioja Alavesa region.
