WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for this El Terrano Verdejo begins with a night harvest, a technique used to preserve grape freshness and aromatic compounds. The grapes are then fermented in stainless steel tanks, a method chosen to maintain the wine's vibrant fruit character and crispness. Following fermentation, the wine continues to age solely in stainless steel, further ensuring that its natural qualities are preserved without the influence of oak. This approach is designed to highlight the distinctive profile of the Verdejo grape from the Rueda region.
