WINE MAKING PROCESS
Candidato Ecologico Tempranillo is produced from 100% Tempranillo grapes grown in organic vineyards. The grapes are fermented in stainless steel tanks at approximately 26°C, a process designed to retain the wine's primary fruit aromas. While specific aging details for the 2023 vintage are limited, the producer has access to oak barrels, suggesting a potential for brief oak influence. The wine is bottled in PET, reflecting an innovative approach to packaging with environmental considerations. The producer's philosophy emphasizes creating versatile, value-driven wines that are representative of their Spanish origin.
