WINE MAKING PROCESS
Corcovo Tempranillo Reserva 2019 is produced using 100% Tempranillo grapes. Following a delicate harvest, the grapes undergo fermentation with a long maceration period of 25-30 days. The wine is then aged for 12-15 months in oak, with a specific mention of 15 months in new American oak barrels. Post-oak aging, the wine is further matured in bottle for over a year before its market release. Production takes place in cellars maintained at constant humidity and temperature.
