WINE MAKING PROCESS
Mas Donís Negre is produced by Celler de Capçanes in the D.O. Montsant. The winemaking process begins with the separate vinification of its four grape varieties: Garnacha, Syrah, Merlot, and Tempranillo. Fermentation occurs in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks over 8-10 days at 22-25°C. This is followed by malolactic fermentation, also conducted in tanks. To maintain its fresh and fruity profile, the wine undergoes no oak aging and is instead matured in tanks. This approach is designed to showcase the purity of the fruit and the regional character of Montsant.
