WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Son Mayol Grand Vin 2016 is produced using grapes from Bodega Son Mayol's 25 hectares of vineyards, which are managed with a focus on minimal intervention and biodynamic principles. Grapes from diverse parcels are vinified separately. Fermentation occurs in French oak tanks. Following fermentation, the wine undergoes twelve months of aging in French oak barrels, with about 60% of them being new for this vintage. This process is designed to create a wine with structure and aging potential.
