Wine production Conde San Cristóbal Crianza 

During the harvest, the time elapsed from the cut of the cluster to the reception of grapes is a maximum of 30 minutes, thus avoiding oxidation and spontaneous fermentation. The grape, harvested by hand, enters the winemaking process after passing through the selection table and de-stemming at low revolutions. In stainless steel tanks, a cold maceration is initially carried out at 8ºC for a period of 3 to 5 days. The process continues with alcoholic fermentation at controlled temperatures of 20 to 24ºC for 9 to 12 days. Finally, the wine is subjected to a maceration with "the pastes" for 15 to 20 days before being aged in barrels.
