Subtitle: Vinification of Voché Rioja DOCa by Bodegas Manzanos

The winemaking process begins with careful vineyard management in the sun-drenched Rioja region. The vineyards are cultivated using precise, sustainable methods to ensure optimal grape health and freshness. The grapes for the Voché Rioja DOCa - Bodegas Manzanos grow in mineral-rich clay soils that guarantee a balanced supply of water and nutrients. Harvesting takes place late in the season, when the grapes are fully ripe and complex. The harvest is manually carried out by experienced vintners to select only the finest berries and ensure high-quality raw materials.

The vinification features a controlled fermentation at moderate temperatures to preserve the aromatic potential of the grapes. The mash is gently extracted to promote aromatic substances and tannin structure. After fermentation, a biological racking is performed, and the wine is assessed for balance and finesse. The subsequent extended aging in oak barrels imparts the wine with characteristic complexity, a velvety texture, and an elegant harmony between fruit and wood. During this phase, the wine matures in barrels made of American and French oak, highlighting the varied nuances of vanilla, caramel, and spicy notes. The combination of traditional methods and modern cellar techniques makes the Voché Rioja DOCa - Bodegas Manzanos a lively, layered wine with remarkable longevity.
