Rosé and red
wines elaboration: |
First the fruit is separated in the destemmer, after
which the whole grapes go to stainless tanks.
There are some differences
between the rosé and red wine fermentation processes:
In the rosé fermentation process the
unfermented grape juice is extracted from the tanks and ferments separated from
the grains and skin grape. It therefore, has deeper colour, depending on the
time before juice extraction. To keep the fruit aromas characteristic of
rosé the fermentation temperature is rigorously controlled so it never
exceeds twenty degrees (20ºC). |
To obtain red wines the grapes ferment for
ten days more or less with its juice, grains and skins in the same tanks where
we put the grapes. It ferments spontaneously because of the natural yeast.
During this time we stir the liquid to get more colour and best taste. The
red wines fermentation temperature never exceeds twenty eight degrees
(28ºC). Next, red wine is aged in oak barrels. |
