WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Vino de Tudelilla Tinto is produced using 100% Tempranillo grapes. A key winemaking technique employed is carbonic maceration, where whole grape bunches are fermented in stainless steel vats at a controlled temperature of approximately 24°C for 8 to 10 days. This process is designed to enhance the wine's fruit expression and freshness. The grapes are harvested entirely by hand. Bodegas Ortega Ezquerro's approach focuses on expressing the unique terroir of Tudelilla, with an emphasis on environmentally friendly agricultural practices.
