The grapes, in granitic soils and in an integrated protection regime, are selected on a table of choice, 30% whole bunch of 70% destemmed, fall by gravity in the vat. Spontaneous fermentation and maceration of 40 days in skins, followed by a 12-month aging in stainless steel vats. A 100% Tinta Carvalha, the only wine 100% of this variety in Portugal. 2449 bottles produced.
Very open color, ruby, intense fresh nose, notes of bitter red fruit, pomegranate notes of graphite. Very fine tense attack, elegant with a lot of depth and tension. A red that shows that Alentejo can be something else.
