Product details
Hand-harvest at their finest, the grapes are destemmed, crushed and vinified in a careful maceration with extraction of colour, tannins and pellicle aromas, complemented by permanent pumping during fermentation. This process takes place in vats at a temperature between 28-30ºC, until reaching the desired Baume. At this phase grape brandy is added (benefit), originating a fortified wine. A wine of an exceptional quality, from a single harvest, being bottled between the second and third year after the harvest. Originally deep-red coloured, complex, full-bodied and with a remarkable ageing potential.

Tasting Notes:
Deep, almost opaque color with violet hints, this Vintage clearly demonstrates the terroir that gave it its origins. The intimate relationship between soil, climate and old vines at Fazenda São Luiz is irreproducible. Aroma of excellent complexity, where fresh and balsamic notes combine with aromas of red, acidic and concentrated fruit, light touches of heather and black pepper. In the mouth, the acidic red fruit stands out, combined with a very assertive tannin and impeccable acidity. Solemn and captivating, a Vintage that reflects the terroir that gives rise to it.
