WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Clio begins with a manual harvest of selected grape bunches, transported in small baskets to preserve fruit integrity. Fermentation takes place in small stainless steel tanks and barrels, followed by malolactic fermentation completed in new French and American oak barrels. The wine is then aged for an extended period of 23-24 months in these new oak barrels, which significantly influences its structure and flavor profile. This meticulous approach aims to capture the essence of the old-vine Monastrell and the high-altitude Jumilla terroir.
