Wine Making Red Wines & White Wines from Uruguay

Wine producers of the best red wines and white wines; buy wine from a trusted wine CompanyThe winemaker's decisions are done in all the wine making process and begin with the selection of the grapes that shall be grown searching to obtain fine wines and awards in international wine tasting.
The harvest is done totally by hand and selecting only prime quality grapes.

After the arrival of the wine grapes to the winery, the variety, vineyard and so on of a sample is registered in order to evaluate technically the quality and how to proceed with the fermentation to make a fine wine.

The winemaking process begins separating the grapes from the stalks controlling the quality permanently, after destalking the wine grapes are soft pressed to extract the juice.
After the must has been transferred to the correspondent fermentation tanks the chilling process begins with a system of wine coolers.

The winemaker maintains a supervision of the wine bottle in the bottling process to get a total traceability of them. Ending the bottling the wine is sent to special wine racks with a environment totally controlled for several months depending of the type of wine.

The wine bottles are washed and dried and then are labeled. After the wine production ends the wine sales begins sending the best quality wines to wine importers, wine distributors and wine wholesalers in the entire world.


Red Wine Making

Top quality winemaking process in Red Wines: Tannat, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet FrancThe red winemaking process involves several steps just after the grapes have been prepared.

After crushing the wine grapes to release their juice and pulp (the must), the same is put in several tanks in a called process named fermentation. This natural process is regular controlled to obtain the best red wines possible interacting with the grape skin to get the maximum tannins, colors and aromas, very much appreciated in wine tasting and to achieve the best in red wine ratings.

The sugar contained in the must changed to alcohol and the winemaker maintains a regular ventilating and the temperature around 25° to 30°C (77° to 86° F) according to the requirements of each type of red wine they want.

The red wines fermentation is made during around 2 weeks of maceration until is completed, so is retired from the fermentation tank and the grapes’ skins are pressed to extract the best type of red wine. Tannat wines are the ones who are richest in tannins.
The red wines are put in oak barrels to aging and shall result in different reserve fine wines.

The red wines produced are varietals; later the blends are made according to different winemakers' judgments.
In our selections we have Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Tannat, and Cabernet Franc.


White Wine Making

Top rated White Wines: Chardonnay, Sauvignon BlancThe white grape's selection is the first winemaker's decision. In our country Uruguay we have Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc.
The white wine making process is based on the fermentation of the juice of white grapes. Complemented with the natural enzymes of the white grapes, the winemaker adds other natural enzymes used for winemaking, in specific quantities, to maximize the aromas from the grape skins to get the best white wine possible with an excellent white wine rating.

After arriving to the winery, the white grapes are pressed with wine presses, time is essential and to avoid the contact with the air, it is done at inert atmosphere to obtain the type of white wine desired. In that way is avoided the colorization or the aromas' oxidation of the wine.
The juice resulted of taking out impurities after several hours is transferred to chilled tanks and the wine is naturally clarified, then is moved to tanks to begin the fermentation of the must only. The temperature is maintained with coolers around of 18°C (64F°) depending of the requirements.

The alcoholic fermentation is done for several weeks and the winemaker checks all the process continually. When the fermentation is finished the white wine is bottled and in some selected cases the musts are fermented in oak barrels to obtain top rated white wines maximizing its quality.
About tastes, this type of wine has a big variety like dry white wine, sweet white wine and so on.
White wines can be drunk any time and can be also dessert wines.
