Cortes de Cima

At CORTES DE CIMA our wines are made from selected grapes harvested separately by hand from our own vineyards and fermented and aged individually in small batches. At Vindima (vintage), each vineyard is monitored and a decision is made as to the optimum time and order of harvesting each plot. The grapes are fermented without stems under temperature control, with frequent delestage (rack-and-return), to enhance varietal fruit characters, and to provide tannin structure and balance. Our best wines are aged in oak barrels for 6 to 12 months, prior to being estate bottled.
