WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Montrose Rosé begins with grapes harvested at night to preserve freshness. The grapes are destemmed, followed by a short maceration or direct pressing. The must is then cold clarified before undergoing fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures (15-18°C) to retain fruit aromas. The wine is subsequently aged in stainless steel vats, maintaining its clean and vibrant profile.
