Description

Philosophy: To express in a single wine the richness of the region's terroirs.

Origin: Grapes from old vines, aged over 60 years, partly in shale/granite transition zones at an altitude of 500m with predominant exposure to the North, others in typically Douro areas with schist soils located in Baixo Corgo and Cima Corgo , at an altitude of 250m with a predominant South/West exposure.

Vinification: Manual harvest in 20Kg boxes. Reception with total destemming, crushing, followed by a cold maceration for 2 days. Fermentation with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel vats at controlled temperature in order to obtain an elegant, smooth wine, without too much extraction.

Stage: 75% stainless steel; 25% used French oak barrels.
