WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Madrid Romero Monastrell is crafted from 100% Monastrell grapes. The winemaking process likely involves fermentation in stainless steel tanks to maintain fruit integrity. Following fermentation, the wine is typically aged, with French oak barrels being a common choice for Monastrell from this region, contributing to its structure and complexity.
