WINE MAKING PROCESS
Pesquera Crianza 2021 is produced from hand-harvested Tempranillo grapes. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks over two to three weeks at controlled temperatures. The wine is then aged for 14 to 18 months in a combination of American and French oak barrels, followed by a minimum of 6 months of bottle aging before release. This process aims to create a wine that reflects its origin with structure and complexity.
