WINE MAKING PROCESS
Mara Martín is produced using stainless steel tanks for fermentation, with temperature control being a key aspect to preserve the grape's aromatics and freshness. Following fermentation, the wine is aged on its lees for approximately two months. This lees aging is a significant technique that imparts texture, body, and structure to the wine, contributing to its overall complexity and mouthfeel. The winemaking process is designed to highlight the varietal characteristics of Godello and the specific terroir of Monterrei.
