Wine Ingredients
Method
Wine Making Process
- 1
Harvesting the Grapes
Begin by harvesting the Tempranillo grapes at the peak of ripeness. Ensure that the grapes are undamaged and clean.
- 2
Crushing the Grapes
Crush the harvested grapes to release the juice. This can be done manually or with a grape crusher.
- 3
Fermentation
Transfer the crushed grapes and juice to a fermentation tank. Add yeast to initiate fermentation. Allow the mixture to ferment for approximately 1-2 weeks at a controlled temperature of around 20-25°C.
- 4
Adding Sulfur Dioxide
After fermentation is complete, add sulfur dioxide to stabilize the wine and prevent unwanted bacterial growth.
- 5
Aging
Transfer the wine into French oak barrels for aging. Allow the wine to age for at least 12 months, during which it will acquire flavor and complexity from the barrels.
- 6
Bottling
Once the aging process is complete, carefully transfer the wine into sterilized bottles. Seal with corks and label accordingly.
- 7
Enjoying the Wine
Let the wine rest for a few months before enjoying to allow flavors to harmonize. Serve at a cool temperature to enhance the tasting experience.
