WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking for Blancaflor focuses on preserving the inherent freshness and aromatic purity of the Verdejo grape. Grapes are carefully harvested in the cool early morning hours to maintain their delicate aromatics. Upon arrival at the winery, they undergo a gentle pressing, followed by a cool fermentation in stainless steel tanks. This controlled temperature fermentation is crucial for retaining the vibrant fruit and floral notes. No oak aging is employed, ensuring that the wine's natural character shines through. The wine is then rested briefly on its fine lees to add a touch of texture before being filtered and bottled, ready to capture its youthful exuberance.
