Product details
Cartuxa red is a blend of Alicante Bouschet and Aragonez planted in the Fundação Eugénio de Almeida oldest vineyards. When the grapes are judged to be perfectly matured, they are carefully picked and brought into the winery for de-stalking, gentle crushing and fermentation in temperature controlled steel vats. There follows a 26 days maceration period followed by maturation in new French barrels for 15 months. The wine is aged in bottle for 18 months prior release.
