VINEYARDS
This wine is obtained exclusively from Tinta Roriz grape variety that comes from a portion of vineyard with about 42 years, installed at 200 meters of altitude.

TASTING NOTES
AROMA: Good aromatic intensity, notes of black fruit such as raspberry and blueberry, rock rose, some herbaceous characteristic from the variety and well-integrated wood notes.

BARREL AGING
18 months in new 7000L French Oak barrel

VINIFICATION
The grapes were manually harvested into chests of 25 Kg, after careful selection by their best state, and followed to the vinification center where they were destemmed. The fermentation occurred during 9 days in the traditional granitic stone tanks with foot treading and gentle pumping over for blanket leaching and extraction of the phenolic and aromatic compounds. At the end of the alcoholic fermentation the wine was transferred to 7000-liter barrels where malolactic fermentation occurred and aged for 18 months.
