L'Ermita 2021

The harvest is carried out manually, ensuring the grapes are picked at their optimal ripeness and selecting the best specimens directly in the vineyard.

Once the harvest reaches the winery, the grape clusters are destemmed and gently pressed.

The must ferments in small wooden vats, where it rests for 45 days, undergoing regular punch-downs.

After fermentation, the wine is transferred to French oak barrels, where malolactic fermentation takes place, followed by 14 months of aging.
