WINE MAKING PROCESS
The SOS Pudu Erazo is produced using a philosophy of minimal intervention. Key techniques include fermentation with native yeasts and aging in old barrels, with no corrections made during the winemaking process. Fermentation occurs without oak, preserving the natural character of the Cinsault grapes. Minimal sulfur is added prior to bottling. The grapes are sourced from old, dry-farmed bush-vines, and the winemaking approach emphasizes sustainability and the preservation of the vineyard's heritage.
