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.

Tasting Notes

Deep Granada colour with intense aromas and flavours. The palate is very full bodied with an intriguing and delicious character of plums, blackberries and chocolate. The ageing in oak gives a perfect balance. The finish is smooth, elegant and extremely persistent. João Paulo Martins; Vinhos de Portugal 2016; "Tasted in 2014. The color is good and the wine is showing a direct aroma, with ripe fruit, light balsamic note. The mouth tasting show a beautiful red, the tannins are fine and the tasting results at a good level, with very good red fruits combined.
