The Cartoixà Vermell, however, never develops a tremendous amount of pigment, so even with a long skin maceration, the wine only achieves a coppery-pink color. The grapes are harvested around 12 degrees of potential alcohol in the beginning of October. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFrom there, they are moved to the winery, where the must ferments on the skins for a period of three weeks to a month in ceramic containers. It is then pressed off the skins to continue its aging in ceramic containers for another 5-6 months and neutral barrels for the remainder of its 18-month élevage.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"skurnik","offers":[{"title":"1 \/ 750 ml","offer_id":40561829576809,"sku":"ES-ESC-01-18","price":21.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1780\/9427\/files\/swe_new_hub212131.png?v=1685955039","url":"https:\/\/winechateau.com\/products\/cartoixa-vermell-rosado-escabeces-2018","provider":"Wine Chateau","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
