WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Berberana Dragon Gran Reserva 2014 is a blend of Tempranillo, Cariñena, Garnacha, and Syrah, sourced from the Catalunya region. A defining aspect of its production is its extended aging period. Following harvest, the wine was transferred to French oak barrels, ranging from 2 to 3 years old, in March 2015. It remained in these barrels for a full five years, until March 2020, before being bottled in December 2021. This significant oak maturation is a key technique that shapes the wine's character, contributing to its complexity and mature profile.
