WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Fuego Blanco Sauvignon Blanc is produced using grapes that are hand-harvested. The winemaking process involves fermentation at low temperatures within stainless steel tanks. This technique is employed to preserve the wine's aromatic profile and freshness. Following fermentation, the wine is aged in stainless steel, a method that emphasizes the varietal's inherent fruit characteristics and acidity.
