WINE MAKING PROCESS
Fidencio Crianza is produced from Tempranillo grapes grown in La Mancha. Following harvest, the grapes undergo fermentation, typically at controlled temperatures, to capture the varietal's fruit profile. As a Crianza, the wine is then aged for a minimum of two years, including at least six months in oak barrels. This aging process contributes to its structure, softening tannins and adding layers of complexity. The cooperative structure of Virgen de las Viñas Bodega y Almazara means that winemaking practices are geared towards consistent quality and value, reflecting the collective efforts of its member grape growers.
