Albaflor Reserva

Abaflor Reserva is a sustainably elaborated wine, which process, already since the cultivation at the vineyard, does not include chemical treatments. In the winery, the first step for this winemaking, once the grapes have already passed through the hopper, is to introduce them in the stainless steel tank, where macerates with the skins over 24 hours and, afterwards, the spontaneous fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature of 15ºC, what allows us to achieve the perfect balance between sugar, alcohol and acidity. After four to six weeks, once the fermentation is over and after passing the juice through the skins several times, the wine stays in the tank over six months, until its complete stabilization and clarification. Following this phase, a concrete ageing takes place during one year for its oxygenation. As the last part of the process, the wine is aged in oak barrel for 21 months. Optimal consumption date: 2017 – 2020.
