WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of Ruida Domo Valdepeñas Reserva 2017 involves controlled temperature fermentation between 25-28°C, with a maceration period of approximately ten days to develop tannic structure. After malolactic fermentation, the wine is aged in American oak barrels for 12 months. The Valdepeñas DO regulations for a 'Reserva' red wine require a minimum of three years of aging, with at least one year in oak barrels. This process aims to create a wine with developed character and balanced structure.
