Vinification of the Buenos Hermanos Torrontés by Gimenez Riili

After manual harvesting, the grapes are quickly transferred to the press. Here, they are sorted and gently crushed. This is followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. The vinification is completed with a few months of aging on the fine lees before the wine is finally bottled.
