Vinification of Purple Angel Montes

In the early hours of the morning, the grapes from the different plots are harvested by hand. After careful selection, the grapes are placed in stainless steel tanks and carefully fermented.

This red wine is aged 50% in American and 50% in French oak. In order to remove all lees and yeast particles from this wine, it is carefully tapped three times. In addition, minimal amounts of oxygen are added to this wine. This promotes the maturity of the wine. This technique makes this red wine clear and pure and therefore it does not have to be filtered or embellished during bottling.

So that this red wine can develop its full potential, it remains on the bottle for up to one year.
