WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Torres Secret del Priorat begins with maceration and alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel tanks, with maceration lasting 10-12 days. The wine then undergoes aging for 12 months in second-use French oak barrels. The 2019 vintage was influenced by a dry year with some rainfall, moderate temperatures, and slightly higher nighttime lows, contributing to the wine's complexity and depth.
