Grapes: Aragonez, Trincadeira, Castelão & Alicante Bouschet

A true ex-libris of Adega de Borba. Coming from old vines, the grapes underwent strict control over the evolution of maturation, having been harvested in small quantities. In the cellar, after destemming and gently crushing the grapes, alcoholic fermentation began, which lasted for about 10-15 days at a controlled temperature of 24ºC, for greater extraction of the fruity aromas and flavors of the grapes. To increase the polyphenolic complexity, tannins and structure of the wine, it remained in vats in a post-fermentation maceration process. Malolactic fermentation subsequently took place in stainless steel containers. To enhance and enhance its organoleptic characteristics, the wine aged for 12 months in 3rd and 4th year French oak barrels and in exotic wood barrels, after which it was aged for 6 months in bottle in the cellar.
