Wine growing / wine making

The grapes are gently destemmed, crushed and fermented at controlled temperature. During the alcoholic fermentation, the objective is to maximise the aromas and colours, and to obtain a good structure with no aggressive tannins. Malolactic fermentation follows. The wine is then racked and aged in barrels. Maturation in tanks for 6 months minimum before bottling. Soil : The grapes of Pétalos de Aresan come from three different soils: 1- Clay-limestone soil = High proportion of gravel at the surface, deep clayey soil. 2- Clay-silt soil = Shallow depth with a layer of limestone (chalk) that blocks the roots. 3- Sandy-clay soil = Deep, sandy soil that drains and is sensitive to drought. Certified organic and vegan.
