Product Description
A blend of Portuguese and international varieties from our cool Alentejan Atlantic coastal vineyards and in the warmer Alentejan terroir
Vinification
Each parcel was harvested separately according to ripeness during the cool hours of the early morning, and transported under temperature control to our winery, where they were destemmed and gently pressed. The free run juice was separated and cold settled, prior to racking with partial solids to stainless steel tanks where fermentation took place at controlled temperatures for 15 days. No malolactic fermentation. Matured on fine lees. Bottled at the estate in December 2020.
