WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process at Ostal Levant is characterized by a commitment to natural practices. Grapes are hand-harvested and fermentation often involves whole clusters and native yeasts, utilizing vessels like open vats, stainless steel, and fiberglass tanks. Some wines may undergo carbonic maceration. Aging takes place in old, used oak barrels or in limestone caves, with a focus on minimal intervention. The wines are typically bottled unfiltered and without added sulfites, reflecting the producers' philosophy of allowing the wine to express its natural character.
