Vinification Method

Classic fermentation method, involving selective extractive enzymes, which are compatible with the active dry yeasts. Fermentation up to 30º C in the first 2/3, and lowering down to 20º C during the last 1/3. During the whole fermentative process, pumping over 2 times per day, using each time half of the volume contained in the vat.

Ageing

Wine is aged in French of Allier oak barrels of 225 Lt for 2 months. Ageing in bottle a minimum 3 months after bottling.

Tasting Notes

With a well defined garnet colour, it has enticing aromas; along with a full body and many and different flavours, we find figs, cherries, and damascus; these are complemented by subtle vanilla from oak ageing. João Paulo Martins; Vinhos de Portugal 2016; "Tasted in 2014. The wine is sold primarily in Norway where sales have had a tremendous growth. The aroma shows again a good floral and light menthol presence, the aroma is fresh, very elegant and shows an enviable youth. Soft and easy on the mouth, one feels that we have wine for multiple culinary solutions."

How to Serve

Excellent by itself or with any full flavoured dishes. We recommend to serve at the temperature of 16-18ºC.
