Fermentation & Ageing

Only the grapes that are of the highest quality for their structure and character are selected to make ZUMAYA Crianza. After de-stemming and pressing, the grapes are sent to stainless-steel tanks where maceration is carried out at 15ºC for 48 hours to obtain the maximum potential from the primary aromas. The must obtained is then fermented with a yeast selected from the cellar at a constant temperature of 28ºC for 7 days, prolonging maceration 10 days more to obtain a better concentration of tannin and improve the structure of the final wine. After the final fermentation, the wine ages in American oak barrels for at least one year.
