WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Garnatxa Negra i Carinyena Giol Porrera 2021 is produced from grapes grown in Giol Porrera's vineyards.

Following fermentation, the wine is aged in French oak barrels for a period, typically around 12 months for this producer, to develop complexity and integrate flavors. Harvest is conducted manually due to the steep vineyard slopes.
