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

Wine is aged in American, French of Allier and Portuguese oak barrels of 225 Lt, for 6 months. Ageing in bottle a minimum 6 months after bottling.

Tasting Notes

Deeply coloured, aromas are intense and complex. The palate is full bodied with concentrated fruit balanced by rich tannins. Ripe blackberry flavour is complemented by dried fruit and spice notes together with vanilla from short oak ageing. The finish is dry and extremely persistent.

How to Serve

Excellent by itself or with any full flavoured dish. Recomendamos que se sirva á temperatura de 16-18º C.
