WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of Folklore Albariño involves harvesting Albariño grapes at their peak ripeness. Fermentation is typically carried out in stainless steel tanks under controlled temperatures to preserve the grape's aromatic qualities and acidity. Some styles may undergo aging on their lees (sur lie) to enhance texture and complexity, while many are bottled relatively young to emphasize freshness.
