WINE MAKING PROCESS
Los Aguilares Vino Tinto is produced using grapes from vineyards planted between 1999 and 2014. The winemaking process involves fermentation in concrete tanks, a technique chosen to preserve the wine's natural character. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for 4 months, also in concrete tanks. This approach avoids oak influence, allowing the expression of the grape varietals and the high-altitude terroir. The vineyard management employs environmentally friendly practices, including the avoidance of herbicides and pesticides.
