Winemaking Details
Viticulture:
The year of 2018 was very rainy until the end of June, that brought us problems of humidity on the fields resulting in diseases on the vines. August was very hot and dry, which helped the vines to complete the maturation of the grapes. In the end, we had less production but great quality! Grapes were hand picked.
Fermentation:
Grapes were totally destemmed and fermented in stainless steel tanks with soft hand macerations and with temperature controlled. 25% of the lot aged 6 months in French oak barrels.
Winemaker:
Teresa Batista
FOOD PAIRING
Summer barbecue, stews
