WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Casal Garcia Branco begins with soft pressing of the grapes at low pressure. The resulting juice undergoes alcoholic fermentation at controlled temperatures between 16-18°C. Prior to bottling, the wine is filtered and cold-stabilized to ensure clarity and stability. Grapes are sourced from selected producers within the Vinho Verde region, with soils described as granitic and sandy.
