Technical Notes

Grapes are sourced from selected high elevation vineyards in the Douro Superior sub-region (at least 1400 feet). After destemming, the grapes are gently pressed, and desired clarity is obtained through a long alcoholic fermentation, around 15 days, in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 58°F. The wine is then matured in stainless steel tanks and after a careful selection, the final blend is assembled.

Food Pairing

A great food wine, it pairs well with fish dishes, seafood, white meats, pasta dishes, and salads.
