Wine production

Pazo Torrado is produced with 100% Albarino grapes carefully harvested in 44lb when the grapes reach the perfect point of ripeness. The grapes are destemmed and crushed and then passed to the pneumatic press, then the must goes into a tank to decant for one day, after that time the clean juice bound for fermentation in stainless steel tanks (18°C) is filtered with a vacuum filter. Following fermentation, the wine is racked to separate it from the gross lees. The next process is cold stabilization, subjecting the wine to -5°C in an isothermal tank for a week to precipitate bitartrates. After that week, the wine is sterile filtered and bottled.
