WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Toni Gelabert Torre des Canonge Blanc begins with meticulous vineyard management, employing biodynamic and organic practices. Grapes are hand-harvested in the early morning after careful selection on the vine. Fermentation occurs in new French oak barrels. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for four months in these barrels. It then rests on its lees for five months, with batonnage performed regularly for the initial three months to enhance texture and complexity. The producer's approach emphasizes artisan production and a deep connection with the natural environment.
