Organic wine - processing, Mas Estela, Emporda DO, Quindals, rouge

The cultivation and care of the vines that grow on slate soils in steep hillside is done, according to biodynamic rules that are also applied in winemaking. In order to avoid any oxidation of the grapes, harvesting by hand is done in the early morning while temperatures are still low. They are collected and brought to the winery in 18 kg comprehensive plastic crates and not in large containers. An aditional advantage to achieve this task is the location of the vineyards in the immediate vicinity of the Mas Estela. Herre the berries are separated from the panicles, crashed and macerated for 12 hours at cool temperatures in stainless steel tanks and then fermented at 22° C only with the grapes own yeast.
This organic wine is aged for 12 months in barriques (used previously already 2 to 5 times) and bottled without fining and filtration.
