Carrasviñas

As a tribute to the origins of our family winery, we are starting to make the Carrasviñas Dorado wines again, just like our ancestors did for generations. It is a white wine of the varieties Verdejo and Palomino Fino with oxidative ageing in “Demijohns”.

WINEMAKING PROCESS

Harvest by hand when the grapes acquire a high level of alcohol (around 15ºC). The different varieties are vinified separately at the winery; we destem and do a soft pressing to extract the free run juice. The must is fermented in stainless steel tanks. At the end of the alcoholic fermentation, the thick lees are removed and we then do the blend of the two types of wines. Following the traditional winemaking process that our ancestors carried out, we keep the wine in 16 L glass vessels (called “damajuanas” or “Demijohn”) for 18 months. During this time the wine realizes an "oxidative aging" giving the wine a golden colour, and the characteristic aromas and flavours. After the oxidative aging, the wine is transferred into oak barrels for ageing during at least two years prior to bottling.
