WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Honoro Vera Organic Monastrell is produced from 100% Monastrell grapes grown in Jumilla's challenging climate. After harvest, the grapes are fermented for 15 days in stainless steel tanks under controlled temperatures, not exceeding 25°C. Following fermentation, the wine is kept refrigerated until it is bottled. This process focuses on preserving the natural fruit characteristics of the Monastrell grape and the expression of the Jumilla terroir, with no oak aging employed.
