WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Finca Martelo Reserva begins with manual harvesting and cooling of grapes. A cold maceration below 10°C is employed. The wine then spends 24 months aging in a combination of 80% new American oak and 20% new French oak barrels. Following barrel aging, it is refined for eight months in tanks before bottling. This meticulous approach aims to develop the wine's structure and integrate its components.
