Vinification of the Rosado Rueda D.O. by Valdecuevas The vinification of the Rosado Rueda D.O. begins in the vineyard, where the grapes grow under optimal conditions. The vines thrive in the D.O. Rueda, known for its ideal climate and nutrient-rich soils that form the basis for high-quality wines. The grapes are typically hand-harvested to ensure that only the best and ripest fruits are used. The harvest usually takes place in the cool of the morning to preserve fresh aromas. After harvesting, the grapes are gently pressed to obtain the must. Fermentation occurs in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, allowing the aromas of the grapes to unfold optimally. To emphasize the fruitiness, fermentation is conducted at low temperatures. Following maturation in stainless steel, a short aging on the lees takes place to achieve additional complexity and fullness. 1. Hand harvesting of the grapes 2. Gentle pressing 3.
