Vinifcation
We harvest the grapes into 12-kilo crates and leave them for 12 hours in a cooler. We select them with an optical
scanner, berry by berry. Hey then macerate for five days in concrete vats exclusively designed for Lalomba. During
this time slow fermentation begins with the yeast from the vineyard. On the fifth day we inoculate with selected
indigenous yeasts. The fermentation temperature is maintained at 24 ºC.
By combining délestages and pumping over at specific moments we help the process of extraction and maceration.
Once fermentation is complete, we macerate the wine for a further 14 days before subjecting it to gentle pressing.e
wine is then racked into 225-litre French oak casks which have been used for one vintage and new Hungarian oak
casks, where it undergoes malolactic fermentation. The wine matures in these same casks for 16 months, with no
racking. After this it is returned to the concrete vats to round off for another 22 months.
