WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Mas Cristine Côtes du Roussillon Blanc is produced through manual harvesting. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks and/or barrels at temperatures typically between 16-20°C. Aging can involve a combination of tanks and barrels, with some wines aged on lees. The winemaking approach aims to preserve fruit purity while developing complexity and texture.
