WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of MN Seleccion Tinta Fina involves fermenting the Tinta Fina grapes in thermo-controlled stainless steel tanks. This controlled environment helps in the extraction of desirable compounds from the grapes. Following fermentation, the wine typically undergoes aging in oak barrels, a common practice in Ribera del Duero that contributes to complexity and structure. The harvest is timed to ensure the grapes achieve optimal ripeness, reflecting the region's climate and the varietal's potential.
