WINE MAKING PROCESS
René Barbier Viña Augusta is produced using a blend of Macabeo, Moscatel, Parellada, and Xarel-lo grapes. A key winemaking decision is the absence of oak aging, which allows the inherent fruity and floral notes of the grape varietals to be the primary focus. The fermentation process is managed to maintain this freshness. The wine is bottled without significant aging to preserve its vibrant character.
