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. After the alcoholic fermentation, the cap is plunged for 30 days, and during that period, extraction of the gentle tannins is conducted, along with the malolactic fermentation and the natural stabilization of the wine.
Wine is aged in American, French of Allier and Portuguese oak barrels of 225 Lt, from the best origins, for 3 months. Ageing in bottle a minimum 3 months after bottling.
A delicious, dry red wine with a smooth, yet distinctive character. The palate shows good body and is full off flavour with aromatic black cherry and raspberry fruit, was well as spice notes. The wine has excellent concentration and this is shown by a long lasting finish.
Excellent with food or by itself. Will accompany almost any fuller flavoured dishes for example, roasts, barbecue, cheese, pasta and vegetarian. We recommend to serve at the temperature of 16-18ºC.
