Product details
Grapes from the best plots at the Quintas do Seixo and Vau estates, were fermented at the Quinta do Seixo Winery according to the traditional Porto Wine method in granite treading tanks. This ancestral winemaking method allows the grapes to release their constituents and naturally express the aromas of the grape variety and its terroir. After the harvest the wine remains in the Douro region and then are transported to the cellars in Vila Nova de Gaia the following spring. The wines then begin their usual ageing process in oak vats. During this period, the wines undergo rackings, analysis and tastings, which allow their ageing to be monitored. The final blend is obtained from the careful selection of wines, in a tireless quest for maximum quality.
