Winemaking >
Description Process: When the Moscatel must
has reached a certain degree of extended maturation,
it is fortified with wine-based distilled spirit to bring
the alcohol content up to 19%. Once clean and
stable it passes to the criaderas where it is left to
mature through the process of oxidative ageing.
This is achieved through the oxidation of the wine
whilst in barrel and racking within each tier of the
criadera. This traditional system is characterised by
the carefully orchestrated movement of wine
between the soleras and criaderas within each cellar.
With this particular wine, the ageing process lasts
for a period of 5 years.
