Product details
After stalk-removal and crushing, the grapes were taken to stainless steel vats, where skin maceration and alcoholic fermentation took place. Skin maceration was extended by pumping-over the grape must and skins to ensure maximum extraction. Temperatures were controlled at about 28ºC. At the end of maceration, determined vat by vat (dependant on the quality of the vintage and the quality of each variety), the wine was separated from the must. Malolactic fermentation was induced in sterile temperature-controlled conditions. When the fermentations had finished, the wine remained in stainless steel vats at the Vila Real Winery over the winter. During this period, and owing to naturally low temperatures, a natural clarification of the wine, through sedimentation of coarse particles, occurred. At the end of the winter the wine underwent its first racking, to remove any existing sediments, and was taken to Avintes during March and April. The final blend was selected after numerous tasting sessions and analyses. In order to preserve the highest quality, the wine was bottled after fining and cold stabilisation.
