The grapes are sourced\u003cbr\u003efrom the Cima Corgo and Douro Superior sub-regions, which offer exceptional terroir and a\u003cbr\u003erange of elevations and vineyard characteristics. The grapes are harvested from September\u003cbr\u003eto October and undergo a cold maceration in lagares for two to three days. The wine is\u003cbr\u003eaged approximately 12 to 18 months in French oak barrels.\u003cbr\u003eUpon arrival at the winery, the grapes originating from 100-year-old vines are carefully selected\u003cbr\u003eand de-stemmed. Pre-fermentive maceration at low temperatures with machine treading in\u003cbr\u003estainless steel troughs takes place, following fermentation at controlled temperatures between\u003cbr\u003e25ºC and 28ºC in stainless steel tanks. Pumpovers and delestage processes are then started in\u003cbr\u003eorder to obtain the best possible extraction through a careful selection limited to the chosen\u003cbr\u003econstituents followed by a long post-fermentative maceration.\u003cbr\u003eT A S T I N G N O T E S\u003cbr\u003eDeep red color.
