Grapes are crushed by foot, before and during the whole fermentation. When the must is ready for the addition of the grape brandy, the fortification is made in one single moment, adding all the brandy to the must and skins in the lagar. Then some more treading ensures good homogenization of the whole wine and that the fermentation is stopped. The blend of must and brandy stays in the lagar for one to two more days, with very slight treading twice a day (10 minutes each time). It is then racked to the storage vat together with all the press wine (we use traditional basket presses). The wines aged in very ancient (more than 100 years old) wood Port casks for an average of 10 years.

The aroma is something hot and toasted, to remind aging in the Douro, hazelnut, caramel, vanilla, some resin that is repeated in a mouth intense, with some depth, a lot of character and strength in this 10 Years
