WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Júlia Florista Red involves classic techniques aimed at preserving freshness and fruit expression. Grapes are typically destemmed before undergoing fermentation in stainless steel tanks. This method allows for precise control over temperature, which is essential for extracting desirable aromas and flavors while maintaining the wine's vibrant character. Following fermentation, the wine is generally prepared for bottling relatively soon after, reflecting a style that emphasizes youthful fruitiness and approachability rather than extended aging.
