WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Trivento Reserve White Malbec is specifically designed to achieve its white wine characteristics despite using red Malbec grapes. The key technique involves immediate and gentle pressing of the grapes upon arrival at the winery, ensuring minimal to no skin contact. This rapid separation of the juice from the red skins prevents the extraction of color and tannins, resulting in a clear, crystalline white wine. Fermentation then proceeds as it would for a traditional white wine, typically in stainless steel tanks at controlled cool temperatures to preserve its vibrant fruit aromas and crisp acidity.
