Winemaking:
Made on the property from the Alicante Bouschet, Touriga Nacional and Aragonez grape varieties. The grapes were carefully monitored and harvested at the ideal ripeness point. After total destemming and gentle crushing, the must fermented in stainless steel vats at a controlled temperature of 26ºC for 7 days. The peels were left to macerate for another 3 to 4 days to increase the aromatic and phenolic complexity. When it was judged in the tasting that it had reached the correct balance, the juice was drained from the skins and the skins pressed. After malolactic fermentation, the wines were transferred to French and Caucasian oak barrels, where they aged for about six months. To maintain their high quality, the wines were bottled without cold stabilization. It may thus form a slight deposit during aging in the bottle.
