Vinificatie The grapes of the old vineyards at Quinta do Vallado were vinified separately in stainless steel. The grapes from the younger vineyards of Sousão were foot trodden in lagares and fermented in the lagares for 6 days. The wines from the old vineyards were then stored in stainless steel tanks during the malolactic fermentation and were afterwards racked to 225 litres new French Allier Oak barriques. The wines from new vineyards after a first racking were immediately stored in similar 225 litres barriques of new French oak. The wine was kept for 17 months on the barriques. Serveertemperatuur 17-18 °C Smaakomschrijving Full bodied, firm, mature and silky tannins. Mineral notes and a very elegant, persistent and complex finish.
