WINE MAKING PROCESS
This rosé is crafted using traditional white winemaking techniques, despite being made from red grape varieties (Moscatel Roxo and Syrah). The grapes undergo direct pressing with minimal skin contact to achieve its pale pink color. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. The wine is unoaked, with aging occurring entirely in stainless steel vats before being bottled promptly to preserve its fresh fruit intensity.
