WINE MAKING PROCESS
Saltamarti Els Vinyerons is produced using a minimal intervention approach. The grapes are hand-harvested and fermented with wild yeasts. The winemaking process emphasizes softness, with maceration carried out gently. A key aspect of the 2021 vintage involves a blend of Tempranillo from the current year, which undergoes 4 months of aging in stainless steel tanks, and a portion from the previous vintage that has been aged for 12 months in old French oak barrels. No sulfur is added during the winemaking process. The vineyards are farmed organically and biodynamically.
