WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Protocolo Blanco begins with a cold soak of the grapes for 8 hours, followed by static settling to clarify the must. Fermentation is carried out using selected yeasts at controlled temperatures between 16-18°C. This method is designed to retain the fresh, fruity profile of the Airén and Macabeo grapes. The wine is not subjected to oak aging, ensuring a direct expression of its varietal character.
