ORIGIN Grapes come from vineyards planted in the Douro Superior, at an average altitude of 350 meters, usually with more than 40 years of age, and planted in terraces with predominant exposure East / North. The vineyards are chosen, one by one depending of the vintage. We look for a selection of grapes that allows us to obtain full bodied wines, very aromatic and rich with great aging ability, gourmet character that represents the "terroir" of the Douro Superior in all its complexity.
VINIFICATION Hand-picked grapes, reception with full destemming, followed by crushing and cooling. Fermentation in vats of 18 ton, with maceration at a temperature around 26ºC. Intense and prolonged maceration and part of the malolactic fermentation were made in oak barrels.
AGEING Ageing in new and used barrels of French oak for 10 months.
