Traditional Winemaking
Traditional winemaking is a centuries-old process that involves harvesting grapes, crushing them, and fermenting the juice. The grapes are typically handpicked to ensure quality, and the fermentation can occur in various containers, such as wooden barrels or stainless steel tanks. This method emphasizes natural processes and often relies on wild yeasts present on the grape skins.
After fermentation, the wine is aged to develop its flavors. This aging can take place in oak barrels, which can impart additional characteristics to the wine. Finally, the wine is filtered and bottled, ready for consumption. Traditional winemaking values craftsmanship and regional practices, often reflecting the unique terroir of the vineyard.
