WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Monte Bluna Tinta Miúda 2020 undergoes complete destemming and passive crushing. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel vats at a controlled temperature of 20°C with variable pump-overs. Malolactic fermentation is carried out in used French oak barrels. The wine is then aged for 9 months in used French oak barrels, followed by 12 months of maturation in stainless steel vessels. The grapes are hand-harvested and sorted into small boxes. Sustainable farming practices are employed, with no herbicides or harmful chemicals used.
