Product details
Grapes are hand-harvested into small shipping crates from a single harvest and vinified using the traditional Port Wine method. After partial destemming, the grapes are crushed in stone lagares with foot treading. Fermentation of the must takes place at a controlled temperature under constant supervision by a team of winemakers, interrupted by the addition of brandy. This wine, as produced, has great aging potential. Aged in large wooden vats, it can be bottled between the second and third year. Provided it is stored under ideal conditions, it has the potential to age in the bottle for over 30 years.

Store and Serve Advices:
The bottle should be kept horizontally at a constant temperature and away from strong light. Over the years, wines develop natural deposits in the bottle, so they need to be carefully opened and decanted before serving. Once opened, the bottle should be consumed immediately. This is an unfiltered wine. Once opened, it should be consumed the same day, like any great cellared wine. After decanting, the wine will open and reach its peak, then gradually lose its freshness, significantly altering the tasting notes. It should be consumed between 14°C and 16°C.
