WINE MAKING PROCESS
Volare de Flor is produced using 100% Chardonnay grapes from high-altitude vineyards in Mendoza. Following fermentation in tanks, the wine is aged in used French oak barrels. A defining characteristic of its production is the biological aging process under a veil of flor yeast, managed through a solera system. This technique, inspired by traditional methods, contributes significantly to the wine's final profile. The winemakers at Per Se employ a philosophy of minimal intervention, aiming to showcase the unique expression of the Gualtallary terroir.
