Winemaking:
The grapes come from a 35-year-old vineyard on the Quinta da Manoella property with southwest exposure. Harvest was planned for the third week of September under perfect weather conditions. All previously selected and destemmed grapes were trodden by foot in stone vats during the entire fermentation process (8 days). The stage was developed in old French oak barrels for 16 months.

Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, Tinta Francisca
