WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Celeste Crianza begins with hand-harvested Tempranillo grapes. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks with controlled temperatures, followed by a 15-20 day maceration period. Malolactic fermentation is primarily carried out in barrels, with some lees aging. The wine is then aged for 12 months in a mix of French and American oak barrels, including some new oak. Following barrel aging, it undergoes a minimum of 12 months of bottle aging before release.
