    Vinification and aging

    Winemaking at Château Fonroque The winemaking process is carried out with meticulous attention to detail. The grapes are harvested by hand and then carefully sorted to retain only the finest berries. After gentle destemming, the grapes are fermented in stainless steel tanks, allowing for precise temperature control. Aging takes place in oak barrels, some of which are renewed annually, to impart complexity and subtlety without masking the fruit. This process, combined with gentle winemaking practices, aims to preserve the pure expression of the terroir and produce wines of great elegance.
