WINE MAKING PROCESS
Caberrubia Fino Carrascal is produced from 100% Palomino Fino grapes sourced from the Carrascal vineyard. The grapes are hand-harvested at night and briefly sun-dried before basket pressing. Natural yeast fermentation takes place in oak casks. The wine then ages in casks with a small headspace for flor development, a revival of 19th-century 'Selección de Añadas' blending practices to capture the vineyard's essence.
