Product details
The grapes, coming from the best Touriga Nacional plots, were taken to the winery in 25 kg plastic boxes, where they are rigorously inspected on a sorting table. The grapes were first foot trodden in a traditional stone tank (“lagar”) and after this they were transferred into an open stainless steel tank where the cap was pressed down with robotic pistons. Fermentation took place for 10 days under strict controlled temperature environment. Once the fermentation was completed, the grape were gently pressed using hydraulic presses. Ageing for 16 months in 225 litres 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.
