WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for this wine begins with hand-harvested Monastrell grapes. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel vats at controlled temperatures (24-26 °C) using natural yeasts. Following fermentation, malolactic fermentation takes place in concrete vats. The producer employs organic viticulture and dry-farming methods, aiming to cultivate balanced grapes and foster biodiversity. The overall approach combines traditional winemaking practices with modern techniques to express the unique characteristics of the Jumilla terroir.
