Bodegas Vatan 14 Arena Toro

Rigorous sorting is followed by destemming without crushing. The whole berries are transferred to 3,000L open top stainless-steel temperature-controlled vats. Fermentation is started with a pied de cuve, and maceration lasts between six and eight days, no more.

The wine is pressed in a vertical basket press for twelve hours and is transferred immediately to new barriques sourced from Bordeaux & Burgundy. The primary fermentation finishes in barrique and malolactic starts spontaneously. The wine rests in barrel for 20 to 24 months.
