WINE MAKING PROCESS
Urutau is produced by Vinhedos do Cerrado in Brazil's Cerrado region, employing innovative viticultural practices. A key technique is the 'double pruning' or 'winter harvest,' which allows grapes to mature during the dry winter months, ensuring optimal ripeness and health. The wine is a blend, typically featuring Bordeaux varietals like Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Merlot. While specific details on fermentation and aging for the 2022 vintage are not publicly available, the winery's approach is guided by academic research and a focus on boutique production, aiming to showcase the unique potential of the Cerrado terroir.
