WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Parajes Macabeo Orange 2023 is produced using 100% Macabeo grapes. The winemaking process involves a one-week skin-contact maceration, which is a key technique for orange wines. Fermentation is spontaneous, utilizing wild native yeasts, and takes place in concrete tanks or stainless steel. Minimal sulfur is added after fermentation. The wine is then aged in concrete tanks or unoaked. Grapes are harvested manually in small crates, and the vineyards are managed using organic and sustainable farming practices.
