Product details
Handpicked at their optimum ripeness, the grapes are then destemmed, crushed and macerated to extract their colour, tannins and aromas, enhanced by constant churning during fermentation. This takes place in vats (lagares) at a controlled temperature (between 28-30°C) until the right degree of sweetness (Baume) is achieved. At this point, grape brandy is added to create the final fortified wine. This is a wine of exceptional quality, made from one single harvest, bottled between 2 and 3 years after harvest. Deep-red in colour, complex, full-bodied and with remarkable ageing potential.
