Product details

Winemaking:
For this wine, the best grapes from Herdade do Freixo were used, which were harvested on the ideal maturation point, with a total balance between sugar, acidity and flavour. Petit Verdot grapes come from the most exposed vineyard in the North, bringing an extra contribution of freshness and elegance to the blend. After harvesting in 20 kg boxes, the varieties are vinified separately. The entire process is carried out by gravity into the trococonic fermentation vats with controlled temperature, mechanical stepping 2-3 times a day, all in a very gentle way. After ageing for 14 months in new 500L French oak barrels with soft toast, to preserve the most delicate notes of the quality fruit, it was matured in the bottle for more than 3 years.

Grape Varieties:
Petit Verdot,Touriga Nacional,Alicante Bouschet
