Product details
The overripe grapes are harvested manually. This is followed by partial destemming and crushing in a mechanical press, where intense maceration occurs before and during alcoholic fermentation (AF). The multiple pumping-overs during fermentation are designed to control temperature and increase skin extraction. Brandy is added to the fermentation at the ideal time for each variety, thus preserving the wine's aromatic concentration, colour, and structure. The Vintage is aged in oak vats in the Douro Valley, with temperature and humidity control. After successive tastings, it was bottled three years after harvest. This wine was not subjected to a stabilization process, so a natural deposit may form in the bottle.
