WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process follows traditional methods under the technical direction of Bodegas Viña Mayor. Grapes are harvested from vineyards situated at elevations between 750 and 850 meters along the Duero River valley. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, followed by malolactic fermentation. In compliance with D.O. Ribera del Duero Crianza regulations, the wine undergoes a minimum of 24 months of total aging, including at least 12 months in oak barrels, with the remaining time completed in the bottle to ensure integration and stability before release.
