WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Finca La Montesa begins with hand-harvested grapes from organically farmed vineyards. Alcoholic fermentation occurs spontaneously in stainless steel tanks using native yeasts, followed by a 35-day maceration. Malolactic fermentation also takes place in stainless steel. The wine is then aged for 12 months in oak barriques. Finally, it is clarified but bottled without cold stabilization or filtering, preserving its natural character and integrity.
