Winemaking:The vinification process is based in a slight maceration with extraction of colour and aromas of the pellicles, complemented by the pressing of the grapes before fermentation. This occurs slowly in a running-off process in stainless-steel vats, under low and controlled temperatures (between 16-18ºC), ensuring the consistency of fresh and aromatic style. The fermentation is interrupted by the adding of grape brandy (benefit), originating a fortified wine. The wine is the result of grapes with different levels of maturation and an ageing in stainless-steel and wood vats for a minimum of 3 years.

As a natural product, the Port Wine is subject to create deposit when ageing. Once opened, it should be consumed within 2 to 4 months.

Serve at a temperature between 8 and 10ºC.
