WINE MAKING PROCESS
The grapes for Parcela Mandiles are harvested by hand. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel vats at controlled temperatures (24-26 °C) using natural yeasts. Malolactic fermentation takes place in concrete vats. The wine then undergoes a 7-month aging period in concrete vats, without any oak influence. This process is designed to highlight the purity of the Monastrell grape and the expression of its vineyard origin.
