WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Humo Blanco Edition Limitada Sauvignon Blanc begins with hand-harvested grapes, immediately transported to the winery and cold-stored. A short period of skin maceration, lasting six to twelve hours, is employed for aromatic extraction. Fermentation is carried out after inoculation at a controlled temperature of 16°C. The wine is then aged on its lees for one to two months without racking. No oak contact or residual sugar is used in the production of this wine.
