WINE MAKING PROCESS
Movastell is produced using 100% Monastrell grapes from certified organic vineyards in Jumilla. The grapes are sourced from old vines, often dry-farmed and trained using the goblet system. Harvests may occur earlier than typical to preserve freshness. Fermentation begins in stainless steel tanks and concludes in concrete tanks, with destemming of the grapes. The winemaking approach emphasizes minimal intervention. Aging occurs for a few months, with bottling typically in late January. Some sources indicate no added sulfites and a residual sugar of 2.2 g/L for the 2022 vintage.
