This wine is obtained by fermenting Sauvignon grapes in a Vinooxygen tank, a method created to avoid racking the wines. Therefore, the wine is never moved until it is bottled. This allows the wine's original aromas and its body and structure integrity to be preserved due to the absence of contact with oxygen. Vinooxygen is a GREEN technology as it minimizes the use of sulfur dioxide (about 40-50 mg), reduces water and detergent use by at least 3 times, as the tanks are cleaned only once compared to at least 3 times in cases of standard racking and filtration.
Notes: Indigenous yeasts are used.
The grapes, harvested in crates, remain in the refrigerator for 2 days to lower the grape temperature before crushing and preserve aromas and characteristics.
