WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Mas Janeil Sarrat del Mas Vin Orange is produced using a distinctive method involving extended maceration of whole white grape clusters for 21 days, a technique typically used for red wines. This process includes frequent immersion of the grape skins (marc) to achieve desired structure and extract pleasant bitterness. Fermentation occurs without the addition of sulfur. Following fermentation, the wine undergoes maturation in barrels employing an oxidative method. The grapes are sourced from vineyards planted on clay, schist, and limestone soils, and are harvested by hand. The winemaking emphasizes sustainable agriculture and minimal oenological additives.
