WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Plantaze Vranac Barrique 2018 is produced from 100% Vranac grapes. Following harvest, the wine undergoes fermentation, which contributes to its alcohol content. A significant part of its development comes from aging for 18 months in French oak barrels, potentially with some American oak influence. This is followed by a period of maturation in stainless steel tanks and subsequent aging in bottle before release.
