WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Preparatus Supervivet Lars Wilderängs involves traditional methods tailored to each grape variety. Grenache is fermented in thermo-regulated concrete tanks, while Syrah and Carignan utilize thermo-regulated stainless steel tanks, with fermentation lasting 20 to 30 days at 24-27°C. Following fermentation, the wine undergoes an aging period of 8 to 10 months. Grenache is aged in cement tanks, and Syrah is aged in a mix of concrete, oak barrels, and demi-muids. The grapes are sourced from old vines, with manual harvesting and selection at the vine. The estate has adopted organic farming practices, with the 2022 vintage being its first certified organic release.
