Description
Pacheca Porto LBV results from old vines grapes that were transported in chests of 25 kg, subject to a strict sorting at the entrance of the winery. After destemming and crushing they are taken to a traditional stone tank where they were trodden by men for 3 hours on the fi rst day. During the fermentation, smooth reassembles are done for blanket leaching and extraction of phenolic and aromatic compounds. Then, brandy is added to stop the fermentation. It aged in 600 liters casks where it remained for about 4 years. It was bottled without fi ltration being subject, during its aging, to create a slight deposit.
