Technical Notes

Vinified in Herdade do Peso using grapes from selected plots. After testing during the maturation period, the grapes were harvested at the optimal point of phenolic maturation and transported to the winery where they were vinified. After full de-stemming and soft crushing, maceration and fermentation took place for around 8 days in stainless steel tanks, at an automatically-controlled temperature of 25oC, in order to enhance the flavour of the fruit and the wine's suitability for everyday drinking.
