WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Viña Bosconia Reserva 2013 is produced using traditional methods. Grapes are hand-harvested from the estate's organically farmed vineyards. Fermentation occurs in old oak vats with natural yeasts. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for five years in used American oak barrels. It is then fined with egg whites before being bottled unfiltered. The winery emphasizes a patient, hands-off approach, allowing the wine to develop naturally over an extended period.
