Winemaking:This liqueur wine was produced exclusively from the grape Aragonez, one of the most important red varieties in the Alentejo region, more specifically in Borba. After a selection of the finest grapes in perfect maturation state, the grapes were carefully crushed as they arrived in the winery, separating the wine mass in stainless steel wine mills (lagares). During the fermentation process and by achieving a good balance between alcohol and sugar levels, the must was removed and arrested by the addition of wine spirit especially selected for the purpose. It then aged for 3 years in French oak barrels and 2 more years in exotic wood tanks, thus originating a different product with an excellent quality. It aged for about 6 months in the cellar after being bottled.
