Production notes

Pressing after total destemming. Fermentation in 26.500 litres vats, with programmable pumping over system and temperature control at 28.º - 30.º Celsius. Skin contact maceration with (submerged) cap for 28 days, partial ageing in oak barrels.

Tasting notes

Extremely ripe and complex with a unique character of dark berry fruit with notes of cinnamon and chocolate. In the palate, it is equally fruity, medium-bodied and with fine tannins. Very pleasant aftertaste, with persistent notes of fruit jam, given to the singularity and ripeness of the selected grapes for this wine. It represents the best of what the Alenquer Region has to offer.
