WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Ramírez de la Piscina Reserva 2016 is produced using traditional winemaking methods. Following harvest, the wine undergoes fermentation, though specific details are not provided. A key aspect of its production is the aging process, which includes time in barrels that impart characteristics of oak, vanilla, and tobacco. The wine's classification as a 'Reserva' indicates adherence to strict aging protocols, typically involving a minimum of two years in barrel and one year in bottle. The grapes are sourced from vineyards that are manually pruned and harvested, and the winery employs sustainable, dry-farmed viticulture.
