WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Viyuela Barrica 2017 is crafted from 100% Tempranillo grapes sourced from Bodegas Viyuela's vineyards in Ribera del Duero. Following harvest, the grapes undergo vinification processes designed to highlight the varietal's characteristics. A key step in its production is a 4-month aging period in oak barrels. This aging process is a deliberate choice to integrate subtle oak influence while maintaining the prominence of the Tempranillo fruit and the regional expression of Ribera del Duero.
