Winemaking Details
Cold end of spring considerably dropped the yields, while hot August brought stress to the vines and growers. Showers in early September were welcomed by all. Hand-harvested grapes from Quinta Vale d'Agodinho vineyard. This is an iconic family-owned vineyard, field blend, dry farmed and terrace pleanted on the shore of the Douro river in Ferradosa area; fermented on the native yeasts followed by two years of ageing in stainless steel tanks. Once most of the natural decantion is finished, this Port was moved to seasoned oak balseiro and casks until bottling. Unfiltered. Last bottling in January 2012.
