Wine Characteristics

Torre Muga Winemaking Process

Fermentation in wooden vats, separating the grapes by variety and origin, without temperature control and using indigenous yeasts. Maceration, once alcoholic fermentation is complete, varies and can last up to 2 or 3 weeks depending on the variety and plot. Malolactic fermentation takes place in new French oak barrels from the Allier and Troncais departments, followed by aging for 16-18 months, depending on the grape variety. After this period, the final blending of the wine is carried out. Before bottling, a light clarification is performed with fresh egg whites.
