Vinification of the Mairena Reserve Blend Limitada by Familia Blanco

The basis for the balanced Mairena Reserve Blend Limitada from Mendoza are grapes from the grape varieties Bonarda, Cabernet Franc and Malbec. In Mendoza, the vines that produce the grapes for this wine grow on soils of clay. Due to the mitigating influence of the nearbyRiver, the grapes ripen more slowly and develop more aromatic depth. The berries for this red wine from Argentina are harvested exclusively by hand when they are perfectly ripe. After harvesting, the grapes immediately enter the press house. Here they are selected and carefully ground. This is followed by fermentation in small wood at controlled temperatures. The vinification is followed by a maturation of 12 months in French oak barrels.
