Product details
Grape origins from Quinta de Roriz, picking between September 9th and October 5th. Quinta da Perdiz, picking started September 23rd, and ended October 5th. Manual triage is undertaken on a sorting table after which the grapes are destemmed before passing through a second berry-by-berry mechanical selection, prior to being gently crushed. The grapes are then relayed to the fermentation vats, and once in the vats they are inoculated with a specially selected yeast culture and fermentation taking place around 25ºC. Maceration is very gentle and adjusted in such a way as to produce a wine intended for earlier drinking, nevertheless, with a great ability to mature in bottle. Ageing 13 months in French oak barrels of 400 L.
