WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Es D'Aqui Cinsauriel 2021 undergoes spontaneous fermentation with 28 days of whole-bunch maceration. Following pressing, the wine is transferred to sandstone eggs and steel tanks for aging. This approach emphasizes natural yeast activity and minimal intervention, aiming to capture the essence of the Cinsault grape and its origin. The use of sandstone eggs for aging allows for a gentle evolution of the wine, preserving its fruit character while developing texture.
