Viticulture:
2023 was hot and humid, with temperatures consistently above average until August. Rainfall was generous—especially in December 2022 and June—and continued into harvest, which complicated picking. To balance power and finesse, we hand-picked Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, and Tinta Roriz at peak ripeness.
Fermentation:
Fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks at 28°C. Daily pump-overs were performed to extract just the right amount of color, tannin, and structure, without overwhelming the elegance of the fruit.
Aging:
After fermentation, the wine was transferred into 500L French oak barrels for aging. 65% of the wine matured for 12 months in oak barrels (85% used, 15% new), while the remaining 35% rested in stainless steel tanks to preserve freshness. All barrels were French oak.
