ABOUT THIS WINE

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for O Gran Mein Blanco involves the separate fermentation of each of its seven indigenous Galician grape varieties. Fermentation takes place in a combination of stainless steel, concrete, and oak vats, allowing for diverse textural and aromatic development. Following fermentation, the wine undergoes a year of aging on its lees. This 'sur lie' aging contributes to the wine's complexity and structure. The final blend is then assembled to create the finished wine.
