WINE MAKING PROCESS
El Galgo Callet Oliver Moragues is produced using organic and biodynamic farming methods. The grapes are hand-picked and fermented in stainless steel tanks to preserve primary aromas, followed by malolactic fermentation. The wine then undergoes a 5-6 month aging period in large French oak barrels to maintain fruit expression. The winery's approach emphasizes ecological practices and the revival of native Mallorcan grape varieties.
