WINE MAKING PROCESS
Flor de Vetus is produced from estate vineyards using Tinta de Toro grapes, with a possible small addition of Garnacha. After a manual harvest, the grapes undergo destemming and light crushing before fermentation in stainless steel tanks, potentially using indigenous yeasts. The wine is then aged for about nine months in a mix of French and American oak barrels. The winery emphasizes sustainable viticulture practices in its high-altitude vineyards.
