Winemaking:The grapes were discharged from boxes of 20 kg directly into the decanter-crusher, falling by gravity into small stainless steel tanks, where alcoholic fermentation was carried out for about 8 days at an average temperature of about 26 ° C. After the alcoholic fermentation the malolactic fermentation was given, still in stainless steel tanks, and the wine was then transferred to new and used French oak barrels. During these 12 months of barrel aging, numerous tests were carried out to monitor the evolution of the wines and to determine the correct time for batch preparation, gluing, filtration and bottling.
Grape Varieties:
Tinta Roriz
Tasting Notes:
Stern wine on the nose. It needs time. It needs to breathe to reveal the aromas of ripe black fruits, notes of pine, pine needle, the nuances of truffle and moss. The barrel notes also appear, subtly, where the wine passed for 12 months. In the mouth it surprises by the acidity that brings freshness and the tannin firm and clawed, but fine. It is a wine with a good volume of mouth, which ends in a long and balanced end.
Store and Serve Advices:

Once open, it should be served on the same day, although it will keep well for some time if well sealed. The bottle should be kept horizontally, in a dry and cool place. After maturing in bottle, it is natural that it develops a deposit, and it should therefore be decanted. Serve at between 16ºC-18ºC.

Disclaimer:
The photo shown is a copy of one of the bottles we have available for delivery. Keep in mind that the older the wine, the more likely the bottle will have some external dirt or slightly damaged labels. This does not mean, however, that the wine is not in a condition to be consumed.
The wines from our rarity zone are stored and air-conditioned in the most correct way so that the wine ages correctly in the bottle, but over time, the wine evolves and changes its characteristics.
We recommend that you carefully remove the cork and let the wine air for some time in order to release its natural aromas. Avoid decanting as it can be a very aggressive operation for old wines.
