Method
Base Preparation
- 1
Grape Harvesting
Harvest the Macabeo, Xarel-lo, and Parellada grapes carefully to avoid crushing them. Ensure that they are ripe and free from defects.
- 2
Pressing
Gently press the harvested grapes to extract the juice. Use a pneumatic press to minimize skin contact and prevent bitterness.
- 3
Fermentation
Transfer the grape juice to fermentation tanks. Add yeast to initiate fermentation, along with sugar if desired to enhance sweetness. Allow the mixture to ferment at a controlled temperature of around 16°C for 15-20 days.
- 4
Sulfite Addition
If desired, add sulfites to the wine to prevent oxidation and microbial growth, following safety guidelines.
Secondary Fermentation
- 5
Racking
