Vinification of the 45 Rugientes Merlot from Bodega Otronia

The vinification of the 45 Rugientes Merlot begins in the vineyard. Here, the grapes grow on carefully selected plots characterized by top-quality soils and an ideal climate. The perfect microclimate allows for a slow ripening of the grapes, which leads to intense aromas and a balanced acidity. The grapes are hand-picked at the optimal ripeness, ensuring that only the best fruits make it into the cellar.

After harvesting, the grapes are selected before being gently destemmed and pressed. Fermentation occurs in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to emphasize the fruitiness and fresh aromas. Selected yeast strains are used to achieve a complex flavor profile. The subsequent aging of the wine takes place partly in French barriques, where the wine acquires additional finesse and a subtle wood note.

The time spent in the barrel is approximately 6 to 8 months, during which the wine is regularly stirred. This ensures optimal aromatics and allows the wine to mature to its full bloom. This creates a harmonious interplay of fruit and wood, making the 45 Rugientes Merlot an unforgettable experience.
