Product details
On arrival at Sogrape Vinhos's winery in Vila Real, the grapes, hand-picked in the high areas and plateaus of the Douro, were destemmed and softly crushed before fermenting in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures of between 16ºC and 18ºC for about 20 days. The wines were kept separately by variety and/or vineyard at low temperatures in stainless steel tanks. After many tasting sessions and a strict selection the final blend was prepared, and bottled after clarification and stabilisation.

It has bright clarity with greenish hints.
