Mimetic – Garnacha Recipe

Winemaking Process

1. 1

   Prepare the Grapes

   Harvest ripe Garnacha grapes and destem them. Crush the grapes to release the juice.

2. 2

   Fermentation

   In a fermentation vessel, combine the crushed grapes, water, and sugar. Add the yeast and mix well. Cover the vessel with a cloth, allowing it to ferment for about 7-10 days at room temperature.

3. 3

   Pressing

   After fermentation, press the mixture to separate the liquid from the solids. Collect the juice in a clean container.

4. 4

   Add Sulfites

   Add sulfites to the juice to inhibit unwanted bacteria and wild yeast.

5. 5

   Age the Wine

   Transfer the wine to oak barrels or glass carboys for aging. Allow it to age for a minimum of 6 months for optimal flavor.

6. 6

   Bottling

   Once aged, filter the wine and bottle it in clean wine bottles. Seal with corks. Allow the wine to rest in the bottles for at least another month before consumption.
