WINE MAKING PROCESS
The 'Hey Rosé' 2022 is produced from 100% Malbec grapes. The winemaking process begins with direct pressing of the grapes, followed by immediate fermentation at low temperatures for several weeks. This fermentation is carried out using indigenous yeasts. After fermentation, the wine is aged in concrete eggs. The winery employs organic and sustainable farming practices. Matias Riccitelli's approach emphasizes minimal intervention to highlight the fruit and terroir.
