WINE MAKING PROCESS
Calzas 2020 is produced from Monastrell grapes cultivated in the Hoya de Torres valley at an altitude of 800 meters. The vineyards utilize 'pie franco' vines, meaning they are on their original European rootstock, grown in calcareous, sandy, and stony soil. The region's hot and sunny climate is conducive to grape cultivation. Following harvest, the wine undergoes 'crianza' aging in a mix of French and American oak barrels. Viñedos Y Bodegas Xenysel, the producer, is a family-run winery that integrates modern technology with traditional winemaking practices. The wine is also certified organic/bio.
