| Vintage / Winemaking: Vinified from selected batches of Alicante Bouschet, Touriga Nacional and Aragonez grapes. After studying their maturation, the grapes were collected at their optimum point of phenolic/aromatic maturation. After destemming and soft-crushing, pre-fermentative maceration took place for 3-4 days, in order to increase the wine's aromatic and polyphenolic complexity. Fermentation followed at 26ºC, gentle pumping over preserving the fruit and extracting the smooth tannins that give importance balance to this wine |
