During the vinification of a wine, one of the most important steps is the clarification process, in which the mosto separates from the solid particles that still persist, in order to clarify and filter the liquid. In this process, usually, the addition of gelatins of animal origin, fish glue or egg white is used. Combined with proximity and respect for nature, Parras Wines decided to use only alternative elements, of vegetable or mineral origin in the clarification of its products. Therefore, Montaria appears without any animal ingredients or derivatives in its clarification, obtaining Vegan certification and allowing consumers to enjoy a glass of wine respecting their concept and lifestyle.

Upon reaching the ideal ripeness ofgrapes, a night harvest is made to protectthe aromatic profile and minimizeoxidation. In the cellar, they are partiallydestemmed and crushed, creating a freshand aromatic wort. Fermentation takesabout 12 days, at a controlledtemperature between 25ºC and 28ºC,without any addition of animal products.
