WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Pancrudo 2020 involves fermenting the 100% Garnacha grapes, likely in stainless steel to maintain fruit purity. Malolactic fermentation is employed to enhance texture and complexity. The wine then undergoes aging in oak barrels, which contributes to its structure and flavor profile. The specific harvest timing is managed to achieve the desired balance for the vintage.
