Vinification Method

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.

Ageing

Wine is aged in French of Allier oak barrels of 225 Lt for 3 months. Ageing in bottle a minimum 3 months after bottling.

Tasting Notes

Ruby colour, smooth and complex aroma to the mix of matured fruits and the new oak wood ageing. The taste reveal's a smooth, elegant and balanced dry red wine with a pleasant and persistent end. João Paulo Martins; Vinhos de Portugal 2016; "Tasted in 2015. Notes of ripe fruit in the aroma, is fresh and well attractive with good concentration. Easily in the mouth, soft, with discreet tannins, is a red that can stand in the cellar, but in truth, it is now that he must be drunk."
