WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Dominio del Aguila Albillo 2020 is produced using a field blend of Albillo Mayor and other local grape varieties from old, sometimes ungrafted vines. The grapes are hand-harvested. Fermentation takes place with indigenous yeasts in French oak barrels, a slow process. The wine is then aged for 35 months in French oak barrels, often in underground cellars. Minimal sulfur is used, and the wine is bottled without filtration or fining. The winery employs certified organic and biodynamic farming practices.
