WINE MAKING PROCESS
Chivite Las Fincas Rosé 2023 is produced using the traditional 'sangrado' or bleeding method. The grapes are fermented in stainless steel tanks at low temperatures to maintain freshness and primary fruit characteristics. The wine undergoes aging on its lees for approximately four months, which contributes to its texture and complexity. Some sources indicate a limited production of Garnacha Blanca that is fermented in barrel with lees work, suggesting an experimental element in the range. Grapes are harvested at optimal maturity, with some night harvesting employed to preserve freshness.
