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.

Harvest2006

The agricultural year was quite dry. The summer was relatively hot. Some downpours in mid-August and high temperatures, followed by high off-season temperatures in early September, caused an early maturation of the vineyard.

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 May 2009.
