WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Portia Prima begins with hand-harvested Tempranillo grapes from the 'La Encina' vineyard. Fermentation takes place in small stainless steel tanks, followed by malolactic fermentation in French oak. The wine is then aged for 18 months in new French oak barrels. This approach aims to preserve the fruit's character while integrating oak influences.
