Cold maceration at a temperature between 8 and 10 °C for 5 to 7 days. Fermentation in stainless steel tanks (24°-28°C) with plunging and rack and return (délestage). Once fermentation is completed, the wine is aged for 12 months in oak barrels, where it undergoes malolactic fermentation. After that, the wine is filtered and bottled. Before being launched into the market it is stowed in the cellar for at least six months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e\n.custom-html-container,\n.custom-html-container * {\n  background-color: transparent !important;\n  box-shadow: none !important;\n  margin-top: 0 !important; \/* Remove any inherited top margin *\/\n  \n}\n\n.custom-html-container {\n  margin-top: 0 !important; \/* Ensure container has no top space *\/\n  padding-top: 0 !important;\n}\n\n.custom-html-container .global-button {\n  background-color: #35174D !important;\n  color: #ffffff !important;\n  border: 2px solid #35174D !important;\n  display: inline-flex;\n  padding: 25px 40px;\n  font-family: Futura, sans-serif;\n  font-size: 14px;\n  font-weight: 400;\n  line-height: 110%;\n  text-decoration: none;\n  cursor: pointer;\n  transition: background-color 0.3s ease, color 0.3s ease;\n  margin-top: 0 !important; \/* Explicitly remove top margin *\/\n}\n  \n.custom-html-container .global-button:hover {\n  background-color: #ffffff !important;\n  color: #35174D !important;\n}\n\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: center;\" class=\"custom-html-container\"\u003e\u003ca class=\"global-button\" href=\"\/collections\/malbec\"\u003eBrowse our Malbec Collection\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Bodega Luigi Bosca","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":33334166552707,"sku":"113907","price":22.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0353\/6859\/9683\/files\/luigi-bosca-de-sangre-malbec-red-wine-whelehans-wines-dublin-wineshop.jpg?v=1762852398"},{"product_id":"ruinart-rose-champagne-ireland","title":"Ruinart Brut Rosé, NV","description":"\u003cstyle type=\"text\/css\"\u003e\u003c!--\ntd {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}\n--\u003e\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e Classic Rosé Champagne from its creative home\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cstyle type=\"text\/css\"\u003e\u003c!--\ntd {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}\n--\u003e\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-userformat='{\"2\":961,\"3\":{\"1\":0},\"9\":0,\"10\":0,\"11\":4,\"12\":0}' data-sheets-value='{\"1\":2,\"2\":\"Medium' in=\"\" is=\"\" to=\"\" fully=\"\" bodied=\"\" and=\"\" looking=\"\" pretty=\"\" vibrant=\"\" pomegranate=\"\" pink=\"\" with=\"\" orange=\"\" reflections=\"\" this=\"\" classic=\"\" ros=\"\" has=\"\" an=\"\" intense=\"\" aromatic=\"\" profile=\"\" red=\"\" berries=\"\" cherries=\"\" tangerine=\"\" blood=\"\" a=\"\" hint=\"\" of=\"\" rose=\"\" it=\"\" develops=\"\" more=\"\" exotic=\"\" notes=\"\" time=\"\" the=\"\" glass=\"\" attack=\"\" full=\"\" distinct=\"\" gliding=\"\" across=\"\" palate=\"\" flavours=\"\" strawberries=\"\" cream=\"\" yellow=\"\" peach=\"\" grapefruit=\"\" freshly=\"\" baked=\"\" bread=\"\" all=\"\" complimented=\"\" zesty=\"\" acids=\"\" creamy=\"\" mousse=\"\" slightly=\"\" sweet=\"\" spicy=\"\" finish=\"\"\u003eMedium to fully bodied and looking pretty and vibrant in pomegranate pink with orange reflections.

However, it's fortified to approximately 17% ABV at a very early stage, immediately halting the flor's development. This early intervention allows the sherry to undergo its remaining aging oxidatively, much like an Oloroso. Comparatively, an Amontillado will spend a much more significant time under flor. Consequently, Palo Cortado is often described as an Oloroso with exceptional finesse.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lustau","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":34260156907651,"sku":"113910","price":36.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0353\/6859\/9683\/files\/palo-cortado-peninsula-sherry-whelehans-wines-dublin-ireland.jpg?v=1716382183"},{"product_id":"de-loach-california-wine-zinfandel-ireland","title":"De Loach Vineyards Heritage Reserve Zinfandel, 2022","description":"\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFresh, Juicy and Well Made Californian Zinfandel  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"right-column\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"wine-notes\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eElegant and medium-bodied, this wine presents flavours of black brambly fruit, alongside notes of blueberries and cherries.
