WINE MAKING PROCESS
Vizcaina la del Vivo is produced using low-intervention methods. Fermentation is conducted with indigenous yeasts, often without strict temperature control. The wine undergoes aging in old oak barrels or foudres to preserve the grape's character. It is typically bottled unfined and unfiltered, with minimal sulfur added. The producer emphasizes organic farming and a philosophy of letting the vineyard's expression lead the winemaking process.
