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

Bright, red fruits flavor with some vanilla from the aging in oak barrels. Rich, full-bodied, fruity but smooth, tasty, with an aftertaste intense and elegant.

How to Serve

Wine for all occasions, great complement of meat, fish in the oven, spicy food, Portuguese, Mediterranean, Italian gastronomies and cheeses. We recommend to serve at the temperature of 16-18ºC.
