Winemaking

The process of making Sauvignon Blanc Weichafe white wine involves a series of care and techniques that preserve the grape’s characteristics and achieve a high-quality product.

The production of Pinot Noir wine is a careful and meticulous process that starts from the moment of harvest. It is important to note that during destemming and crushing, the goal is not to grind the grapes but to keep the berries intact, which allows for the extraction of high-quality must.

Subsequently, a pre-fermentation maceration of one week is carried out to achieve the extraction of phenolic and aromatic compounds. Then, fermentation is initiated, followed by a two-week post-fermentation maceration before racking. This process takes place in stainless steel tanks to preserve the purity of the grape’s flavor and avoid any contamination.

Finally, the wine is aged for two years in multi-use barrels, which provide micro-oxygenation and a velvety texture to the wine, without a significant influence of wood. This careful production process allows for the production of high-quality Pinot Noir wine with exceptional complexity and balance.
