Organic wine - preparation Can Descregut, Penedes DO, Vermell, white

Manual grape harvest, cold maceration of the berries, fermentation in stainless steel tanks with the natural yeasts of the grapes. Once the fermentation is over, it is transferred to another tank, leaving behind the dead yeast and the solids. In this way, the wine clarifies itself. If necessary, this process is repeated. The organic wine then matures on the fine lees for several months. This intensifies its taste and improves its shelf life.
