🌱 Grapes: Malvasia Fina, Rabigato, Verdelho,
🛠️ Winemaking: This wine was vinified in our Celeirós lagares (traditional stone troughs), with foot treading and skin contact, just as is done for red grapes. This prolonged contact is important for the wine's complexity and aging potential in an oxidative environment. After the addition of brandy, it began its slow aging process in barrels in our cellars.
⏳ Stage: Slow aging in barrels in our warehouses.
