WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Trus Crianza 2019 is produced from 100% Tempranillo grapes. Alcoholic fermentation is conducted with gentle pump-overs and temperature control. Malolactic fermentation follows, sometimes taking place in barrel. The wine is then aged for twelve months in 225-liter French and American oak barrels. Some winemaking processes may involve the use of concrete tanks for fermentation and aging, which allows for micro-oxygenation.
