WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Bulas Branco 2021 is produced by fermenting its blend of Viosinho, Códega do Larinho, Rabigato Moreno, and Malvasia Rei grapes in stainless steel tanks. This method is typically employed to maintain the freshness and varietal integrity of the white grapes. Following fermentation, the wine may experience a short period of aging in French oak barrels, which can contribute subtle layers of complexity and texture to the final wine.
