Grapes: -
The grapes, coming from Old Vines, are taken to the winery in plastic boxes and undergo strict selection on arrival. On arrival in the winery they are rigorously inspected on a sorting table. The grapes with their stems are then slightly crushed and transferred to a traditional stone tank (”lagar”) where they are foot trodden. Aer this, the grape spirit is added to stop the fermentation and fortify the wine. Age in 9000-litre Portuguese oak vats.
