Quinta de Ventozelo Essência Tinto

Manual harvest, starting at the end of September, with careful selection of grapes. Upon arrival at the winery, the grapes underwent a double selection: manual and using an optical sorting machine, which selects berry by berry according to size and shape. After an initial cold maceration, fermentation followed in stainless steel lagares at controlled temperature. 18 months in 500-liter French oak barrels (50% new and 50% used). This wine presents a deep ruby color. Aromatically complex, with a predominance of ripe black and red fruit aromas, wrapped in a smoky touch as a result of the long barrel aging. On the palate it is vibrant, with fruit and tannins well present. It finishes persistently with a slight spiciness, revealing great aging potential. Contains sulfites.
