Winemaking
This wine is the result of a rigorous selection of Vinhão variety. That is
the premium grape variety in Vinho Verde region. These grapes come
from our best associates, mostly vinified in simple cord with an average
of 15 years old. The grapes are carefully vinified to remove all
qualitative potential: cold maceration, approximately for two days, to
promote the color extraction; followed the separation of the liquid that
will ferment (at 17ºC) in contact with wood, helped by selected yeasts
and co-inoculation of lactic bacteria’s that will rush the malolactic
fermentation. Finally, the wine is kept in bâtonnage before be
stabilized and bottled.
