WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Guix Vermell Negre is produced from 100% Garnacha Tinta grapes grown in the Els Montalts vineyard. Viticulture adheres to certified organic and biodynamic principles. The winemaking process involves spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts, utilizing whole-cluster fermentation for 7-8 days. The wine is then aged for about 6 months in cement tanks or terracotta amphorae. Production is limited, with yields kept low to ensure grape concentration.
