Winemaking Details

Viticulture:
The year 2015 was very atypical; there was a very cold and dry winter followed by an abnormally hot and dry spring and summer. Maturation was very slow, which forced us to wait a certain time before determining a sure date forthis harvest. The rain in the middle of September was helpful in completing the perfect grape maturation. Grapes from owned and sourced vineyards, hand-harvested.

Fermentation:
Grapes were destemmed, crushed and fermented on the native yeasts.

Aging:
Two years of aging in stainless steel tanks. Once most of the natural decantion is finished, this Port was moved to seasoned oak balseiro for another 18 months until bottling.

Winemaker:
Claudia Quevedo

FOOD PAIRING
