WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Marqués de Riscal Organic Verdejo is produced using 100% organically grown Verdejo grapes sourced from old vines. The vineyards are managed using regenerative practices, including cover crops and trees to support biodiversity, and traditional pruning techniques. The winemaking process typically involves fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve the grape's natural aromatics and freshness. Aging is generally minimal, allowing the wine to express its youthful vitality.
