WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Hands Off Garnatxa 2022 is produced using a low-intervention approach. Key techniques include spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts, allowing the natural microbial population to drive the conversion of sugar to alcohol. Fermentation is conducted at controlled temperatures to manage the process effectively. While specific aging details for this vintage are not provided, Garnacha Negra is often aged in French oak barrels, which can contribute to its texture and flavor profile. The harvest for the 2022 vintage in Spain was influenced by a hot and dry climate, leading to an early gathering of grapes. The overall philosophy of Grape Art LLC and Hands Off Wines centers on minimal intervention, sustainability, and the integration of art with winemaking, often utilizing eco-conscious packaging solutions.
