Product details
The grapes used to make this wine, came from the best and oldest parcels of grapes from Quinta de S. José which is situated in Cima Corgo, next to the river, from 150 to 300m of altitude. North exposition and very schist soil. Grapes are harvested, to 25 Kg boxes, at its optimal ripeness; intending to show a vigorous maturity, leading to higher aromatic and polyphenolic concentrations. After fully stalked and crushed, grapes are fermented in Inox vat and Lagares, allowing quality constituents presents in the ripe grapes film, softly pass to the wine. After malolactic fermentation, the wine is aged in used French oak barrels of 225 and 400 liters for about 12 months.
