WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking for Nativo The Maker 2023 likely focuses on preserving the aromatic freshness and crisp acidity inherent to Verdejo. Grapes are typically harvested at optimal ripeness, often at night to maintain cool temperatures and prevent oxidation. Fermentation usually takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, ensuring a slow and steady process that captures the grape's delicate primary fruit and herbal notes. Some producers may incorporate a period of lees contact to add texture and complexity, though the primary goal remains a vibrant, unoaked expression of Verdejo.
