Vinification Method

Classic fermentation method with destemming and pre fermentative skin contact followed of the application of 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.

Ageing

Ageing in bottle a minimum of 3 months after bottling.

Tasting Notes

Rich, full-bodied, very fruity, velvety, tasty, with an intense, long and elegant aftertaste.

How to Serve

Wine for all occasions and events. Great complement to meat, oven-roasted fish, Portuguese, Mediterranean, Italian cuisine and cheeses. We recommend serving at a temperature of 14-16ºC. Extraordinary as an aperitif, with grilled fish such as salmon, sardines and cod. Perfect with grilled meats, hot spicy cuisine and marinades. We recommend serving at a temperature of 10-14ºC.
