Product details
Manual harvest on September 11, 2020. Grape cooling in a cold chamber (12ºC), with automatic optical sorting in the winery. Pre-fermentation cold maceration for 5 days, followed by alcoholic fermentation in French oak vats, carried out with indigenous yeasts (present in the grape), seeking greater expression of this non-native variety in the Alentejo terroir. Post-fermentation maceration of 20 days, preceding malolactic fermentation and aging in 225-liter French oak barrels, first and second use. All grape transfer processes were carried out by gravity in order to preserve the qualitative potential of the grape as much as possible. Aging for 15 months in French oak barrels followed by 36 months in bottle in the cellars of the Cartuxa Monastery.
Grape Varieties:
Sousão
Tasting Notes:
Opaque ruby colour, typical of the grape variety. Intense aroma, strong vegetal and chemical character, black fruit, blueberries, cherry and spices, very well-integrated with oak. On the palate it is robust and concentrated, with austere tannins, on a base of high acidity and dense black fruit, extraordinarily persistent, almost excessive.
