Product details
The grapes from Vinha da Ponte were transported in boxes with a capacity of 22 kg and subjected to rigorous sorting at a table of choice at the entrance to the winery. After total destemming and treading in a traditional "lagares", the must was transferred to temperature-controlled stainless steel fermentation vats. At the end of the alcoholic fermentation, a gentle pressing was carried out. Aged in 100% new French oak barrels, where it remained for about 20 months. The final batch results from the best selection of barrels.

The palate is elegant, evolving into a wine with great volume and a very solid structure, made up of firm tannins with excellent texture. It finishes with great complexity and exceptional depth. A unique wine that captures the authentic essence of its terroir, reflecting the soul of Vinha da Ponte.

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.
