WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Ganda Lisboa Tinto begins with the destemming of the grapes. Following this, an alcoholic fermentation is carried out in controlled temperature environments using selected yeasts. After fermentation, the wine undergoes a maturation period of 3 months in oak barrels, specifically noted as French oak. The final stage involves bottling, with a final selection of grape bunches occurring before vinification.
