The vineyards are farmed following organic and sustainable practices.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003eUpon arrival at the winery, the grapes are pressed and left to settle overnight before being racked off the sediment. Fermentation with indigenous yeasts takes place in used French oak foudres and malolactic fermentation is blocked. Aged on the lees for 12 months, minimal manipulation takes place during the ageing process with no bâtonnage.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRaúl Pérez has played a pivotal role in Spain’s vinous revolution.
