WINE MAKING PROCESS
Pujanza Valdepoleo 2018 is produced from 100% Tempranillo grapes from the Valdepoleo vineyard. Fermentation occurs in small, differentiated stainless steel vats using indigenous yeasts, followed by malolactic fermentation in the same vats. The wine then undergoes aging for a minimum of 12 months in 225-liter French oak barrels. The producer's philosophy emphasizes understanding each vineyard to express its unique terroir.
