Product details
The ripening months in Southern Portugal’s Alentejo region are hot and dry with cold nights. The vines grow on infertile rocky schist or granitic soils naturally producing low yields of concentrated fruit. Grape quality is improved by restricting yield to 7000kg/ha and employing careful canopy management practices. At harvest the grapes are selectively hand-picked into small boxes at their peak of maturity. All bunches are inspected for quality on a sorting table before they are gently crushed and moved by gravity into temperature controlled stainless steel vats. Following a pre-fermentation cold maceration the wild yeasts population begins the fermentation. Fermentation proceeds at temperatures of 27ºC with an extraction regime of twice daily pump-overs. When ‘dry’ the wine has a post fermentation maceration of up to 15 days.
