Product details
Hand-picked at their optimum point, the grapes are destemmed, crushed and vinified according to a process that is based on a careful maceration with extraction of colour, tannins and aromas from the skins, complemented by permanent pumping over during fermentation. This takes place in mills, at a controlled temperature between 28-30ºC, until reaching the desired Baume degree. At this stage, the wine spirit is added, resulting in a fortified wine. High quality wine, obtained by blending wines from harvests of several years, in order to acquire a complementarity of organoleptic characteristics typical of this style of aged tawny. It ages in wood for variable periods of time, in which the age mentioned on the label corresponds to the approximate average of the ages of the different wines participating in the batch, expressing the character of the wine with regard to the characteristics conferred by aging in cask.
