WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Vallado Superior Organic begins with hand-picked grapes that are destemmed and pressed. Each varietal undergoes separate fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for 16 months in used French oak barrels. This method allows for precise control over each stage, aiming to preserve the distinct qualities of the grapes and the terroir.
