Trotamundos is a wine made with White Grenache from old vineyards located in Rioja Baja. All of them are cultivated organically.

Harvesting is carried out manually, selecting the grapes in the vineyard and in the winery. When they arrive, they are destemmed. The fermentation takes place in French oak vats with native yeasts. Once the alcoholic fermentation has ended, the wine is transferred to used, 500-litre French oak barrels, where it will remain for 18 months. In these deposits, it also goes through the malolactic fermentation.
