WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Bodegas Finca La Capilla Vendimia Seleccionada begins with a meticulous manual harvest, where grapes are selected cluster by cluster and then sorted. Fermentation takes place in small tanks using indigenous yeasts and whole-grain techniques, with each parcel vinified separately. Malolactic fermentation occurs in French oak barrels. Throughout the winemaking, movements are managed by gravity. The wine is then aged for 16 months in French oak barrels, followed by an additional period of bottle aging for over 12 months before its release.
