Vineyard

Plots of vineyards located on the steep slopes of the Pinhão River, at an altitude between 150m and 400m, with a soil of shale origin, poor and rugged; low production, high concentration and quality of grapes.

Harvest 1996

Very dry year. Cold winter. Good flowering. You'll see very hot. One of the earliest vintages. Low production, but good quality. Delicate and elegant wines, with great concentration of aromas.

Winemaking

Fresh grapes and at their ideal ripening point, picked by hand for 20kg boxes. After desengace and gentle crushing, the grapes were placed in stainless steel vat, pelicular macerated for five days. These fermented for five days, with three "delestage" daily, being in macerated after-waiting for another three days. Hence resulted in a wine of excellent extract. This aged in old French oak balseiros. Blend was made in March 1999.
