Description

CARM UVAS Vinified at our winery at Quinta das Marvalhas, in Almendra, in the heart of the Upper Douro. We selected grapes from very old vineyards in the Upper Douro, from the varieties Códega do Larinho, Rabigato and Viosinho. WINEMAKING At our winery, using state-of-the-art technology and full temperature control, we removed any bunches that were not in perfect condition. The grapes were vinified with total destemming, followed by gentle crushing and skin maceration for about 12 hours. After this period, under an inert atmosphere, the grapes were pressed in a pneumatic press, followed by a period of must clarification of 24 to 48 hours, depending on the variety and stage of ripeness. Hyper-reductive winemaking, fermentation at 12ºC, and racking under a controlled atmosphere. The wines were aged successively in stainless steel and French oak barrels on fine lees until bottling. AGING: 50% in stainless steel and 50% in French oak barrels for 8 months, on fine lees. Allergen information Contains sulphites. SKU: 100258
