Winemaking Details
Viticulture: 2018 was characterized by a very atypical weather pattern, but in the end it worked out to bring into the grapes the key elements for the declaration of a great Vintage Port. We harvested a small quantity of highly perfumed, thick skinned and healthy grapes to be able to produce this Vintage Port. The grapes were harvested in the second half of September and early October. Fermentation: 100% destemmed grapes and fermented in stainless steel tanks for 5 days, with maceration occurring at up to 28ºC. This Vintage didn't mature in stainless steel vats. Unfiltered. Winemaker: Cláudia Quevedo
FOOD PAIRING
Chocolate, blue cheese
