Product details
The grapes of old vines (70%) were vinified in stainless steel tanks with controlled temperature and reassembly; grapes of new vines (Touriga Nacional and Sousão) were trodden in mills. The masses were pressed in a vertical press (Titan). After malolactic fermentation, the wines remained 17 months in French oak barrels.

Disclaimer:
The photo shown is a copy of one of the bottles we have available for delivery. Keep in mind that the older the wine, the more likely the bottle will have some external dirt or slightly damaged labels. This does not mean, however, that the wine is not in a condition to be consumed.
The wines from our rarity zone are stored and air-conditioned in the most correct way so that the wine ages correctly in the bottle, but over time, the wine evolves and changes its characteristics.
We recommend that you carefully remove the cork and let the wine air for some time in order to release its natural aromas. Avoid decanting as it can be a very aggressive operation for old wines.
