WINE MAKING PROCESS
Rubin Carica Milica is produced using a blend of Prokupac and Burgundac Crni grapes. The winemaking process is described as traditional. While specific details on fermentation are absent, the wine's semi-dry character suggests controlled fermentation to retain residual sugar. Rubin AD has a practice of aging some of its wines in Serbian oak barrels, which may be applied to this wine, potentially influencing its texture and aroma profile. The producer's integrated approach, from vineyard management to barrel making, is a core aspect of their production.
