Vineyard
Vineyards are located throughout the sub-region of Amarante within Vinho Verde; a brief 40 minutes from Oporto and 15 minutes from the entrance to Douro Valley. Because of this location at higher altitude, the vines enjoy a diverse microclimate and distinctive terroir. Wide swings between day and night temperatures result in longer hang time and more even ripening for the grapes.
Vinification
After destemming and gentle crushing, the grapes were sent to stainless steel vats, where alcoholic fermentation took place. During this phase, gentle macerations are carried out at a controlled temperature.
Aging
After fermentation, it aged in 225L French oak barrels for 9 months. Before bottling, the wine was slightly stabilized and filtered.
