WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for the Tarapacá Biodiversity Cabernet Sauvignon Syrah begins with the selection of grapes. The varieties are crushed, and the skins macerate with the must for 24 hours before fermentation. Fermentation occurs separately for each grape variety in stainless steel tanks using selected yeasts. Following fermentation, the wine undergoes an eight-month aging period in French oak barrels of varying toast levels. Viña Tarapacá employs sustainable viticultural practices, focusing on biodiversity and environmental stewardship throughout its operations.
