Grapes are handpicked. Fermentation was done in granite lagares and the grapes were foot trodden. The aging took place in small wooden barrels (pipas of +/- 500 liters) during minimum 6 years. Before bottling the wines rest for several months blended in a big vat, to enhance balance and complexity.
Very dense, dark red colour. Intense aroma with hints of black berry preserve and spices. In the mouth very rich and concentrated with plenty of flavours and a long finish, good structured wine with huge bottle aging potential. Since this wine was bottled without stabilisation or filtration, this port wine will show sediments growing older. To avoid these sediments best decant before serving.
