WINE MAKING PROCESS
The País Salvaje is naturally vinified using traditional methods, including the 'zaranda' for destemming. It undergoes 30% carbonic maceration and is fermented with natural yeasts. The wine remains unfiltered and sees no oak aging, a deliberate choice to preserve its authentic expression. The vines are 100% organic and dry-farmed, reflecting a commitment to sustainable practices. The harvest is manual, with grapes often gathered from vines growing in trees.
