WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Marta Maté Tempranillo 2021 begins with hand-harvested grapes. Fermentation takes place in concrete tanks using indigenous yeasts, with maceration lasting between 8 to 12 days. Spontaneous malolactic fermentation follows. The wine is then aged for 14 months, primarily in French oak barrels, with some variations mentioned including new or used oak and subsequent aging in concrete tanks for refinement before blending and bottling.
