WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Ramón Bilbao Verdejo 2021 undergoes a pre-fermentation maceration in cold conditions to enhance aroma extraction. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks at controlled, low temperatures, a slow and cold process designed to preserve the varietal's distinctive character. Throughout the winemaking process, inert gases are employed to prevent oxidation and maintain aroma integrity. The wine is aged in stainless steel, focusing on retaining its fresh, varietal expression.
