  • How are the red wines of DO Costers del Segre?

    The production of the red wines of the DO Costers del Segre follows a process like that of other red wines. The harvest is carried out during the ripening period of the grapes, generally in the months of September and October. The grapes are harvested by hand or mechanically, selecting the best grapes and discarding those in poor condition. Once harvested, the grapes can go through a destemming process, where the stem or stem is removed. Then, the grapes are squeezed to break the skin and release the juice. This process can vary depending on the winemaker's preferences and the style of wine to be obtained. The resulting must, made up of the juice of the grapes and the skins, is taken to the fermentation tanks. There, yeasts are added that will transform the sugars in the must into alcohol. During this process, maceration occurs, where the compounds present in the skins (color, aromas, tannins) are transferred to the must, giving the wine its characteristic color and flavor. Once fermentation and maceration have finished, we proceed to pressing. The liquid resulting from the fermentation is extracted, separating it from the solid remains of the skins and seeds. This liquid is called press wine.

It is worth mentioning that each winery and winemaker may have their own style and production technique, which may influence the result of the wine.
