## Description

Virgílio de Sousa DOC Bairrada  

**Winemaking and Maturation**  

In the 2015 harvest, Baga vines that had been planted for several decades across the four terraces of Vinha do Vinhal produced uniquely high‑quality fruit. After an intensive destemming following pruning, grapes were hand‑picked at only about 1 kg per vine and packed in small 18‑kg harvest boxes at the end of September. In the cellar, the grapes were destemmed, crushed, and subjected to a three‑day pre‑fermentative maceration in a tank. Alcoholic fermentation, followed by post‑fermentative maceration, proceeded over 15 days at controlled temperature. After malolactic fermentation, the wine aged for 18 months in new French oak barrels. It was bottled without any stabilising or clarifying treatment to preserve all its richness and complexity, and then aged for over 30 months in the bottle before release.
