WINE MAKING PROCESS
Finca la Mata 2022 is produced from 100% Tinta del Pais grapes. The winemaking process begins with hand-harvesting and hand-sorting of the grapes. A cold maceration is employed for a few days, followed by a two-week skin maceration. Fermentation occurs with indigenous yeasts. The wine is then aged for 8 to 10 months in a combination of 90% French and 10% American oak barrels, with one-third of the barrels being new. Production volumes are approximately 1,800 cases, with 1,300 cases imported.
