Product details
The grapes are harvested manually in September in boxes of 20 kg. In the cellar before being crushed or pressed, they spend 12 hours on a cooling chamber at 10ºC followed by fermentation with indigenous yeasts. This wine comes from two parcels. One at 250 m altitude in V. N. de Foz Côa, facing north. These grapes are vinified in granite lagares with foot trading during 6 to 7 days with 50% of stems. The other at 550 m altitude in Mêda facing South and the grapes are vinified in tank for 20 days. During the maturing process the wine is not moved in order to respect the character of the grapes. The wine matures in 500 and 225 liters used barrels for 14 months.
