DON
CRISTÓBAL 1492
winery is located 20 km. south
Mendoza city - Argentina,
in the Cruz de Piedra district
- Maipú.
Don Cristóbal red and
white wines are produced in
a 1.000.000 liters facility,
in epoxy-coated concrete and
stainless steel small barrels.
Our hand-harvested racemes
are collected in 15-kilo boxes
and transported directly into
the winery where they are
meticulously selected in order
to enhance our wine-making
process.
The winery counts with cutting-edge
technology, such as a 1400
B.T.U. cooling unit, that
allows the optimization of
the fermentation process.
The wine pressing practice
is carried out by an state-of-the-art
pneumatic press, which also
permits a better recovery
of the wines. The bottling
procedure is conducted through
an advanced filtration system
that respects the organoleptic
qualities of the final product.
Each and every year, between
60.000 and 80.000 liters of
selected wine are set aside
and placed in oak barrels
for at least 12 months.
Finally, the bottling and
labeling process is completed
on-site by a modern 2.000
units/hour automatic bottling
line. |
