Winemaking:
The best grapes of the grape varieties Gouveio and Viosinho, carefully selected in the Favaios plateau were harvested in mid-September. Vinification started with total destemming and crushing, and then subjected to 72-hour skin maceration at low temperature. The tear wort resulting from the skin maceration then passed through a natural clarification process by static decanting. The alcoholic fermentation was carried out in French oak barrels of second year, and in small stainless steel vats, for about 20 days at a constant temperature of 18ºC. After the alcoholic fermentation, a stage of 9 months was initiated during which the contact with the fine lees was promoted. After this period, a selection of the best wines was made, with the final batch consisting of 44% of wines from fermentation in the barrel and the remaining 56% of wine fermented in stainless steel.
