Planted in clayey-schist and sandy loam soils, with low yield potential, Vicentino's varieties show their best attributes. The low productivity imposed by the land will act as a stimulus to the quality of the grapes that form, promoting an ideal concentration of acids. organics, sugars and phenolic compounds. Achieving this balance between quantity and quality, together with a mild climate, makes it possible to obtain a raw material of excellence. Fermentation in 500 liter French oak barrels with 50% stem. Aging for 10 months in the same barrels where it fermented. The aromatic elegance characteristic of the Pinot Noir variety is compounded by some notes from the French oak barrels where it was fermented and aged. It has an elegant taste, balanced acidity and a persistent finish. Contains sulfites.

The grapes were manually harvested into 25kg boxes and immediately transported to the cellar where they were stored in the cold chamber for 24 hours. This was followed by grape selection and pneumatic pressing and decanting. The alcoholic fermentation started in a stainless steel tank with selected yeasts. After fermentation starts, the must was transferred to 500L barrels. The wine was kept in contact with fine lees. Aging for 8 months in barrels with battonage. The nose shows white fruit involved in light, very discreet smoky notes. The palate is unctuous, balanced and with a good acidity that gives it a fresh and prolonged finish. Contains sulfites.

The grapes were harvested manually into 25Kg boxes and immediately transported to the cellar where they were stored in the cold chamber for 24 hours. This was followed by grape selection and pneumatic pressing and decanting. The alcoholic fermentation started in a stainless steel tank with selected yeasts. 70% of the must was transferred to 500L barrels and the wine was kept in contact with the fine lees with periodic battonage. Aging for 8 months in barrels with battonage. Complex nose where the tropical fruit from the Roupeiro stands out, combined with notes of grapefruit and the freshness of the Arinto lime peel. The palate is dominated by creaminess and unctuousness. Long and persistent finish. Contains sulfites.

After the selection of the grapes in the vineyards of our associates, the manual harvest is carried out. In the cellar they are unloaded and immediately destemmed and crushed, followed by skin maceration (about 12 hours) in order to extract all the aromatic compounds from the film. Subsequently, the grapes are pressed with oxidation protections from which the tear must is extracted which, after static clarification, starts the fermentation in stainless steel tanks at low temperatures (15/16º) and is then transferred to French oak half barrels. After fermentation, the wine undergoes a process of “batonnage” in the barrels for a few months, followed by aging until the end of winter, at which time it is removed from the barrels, blended and stabilized, proceeding to its filling in early spring. Wine with a crystalline appearance, defined straw color, fruity aroma with ripe tropical notes, dried fruits and honey, structured and unctuous in a fresh, complex set, with a long and persistent finish. Contains sulfites.
