Winemaking Details
Viticulture:
2024 brought a balanced growing season in the Douro, with a cool, wet winter and mild spring. Warm, dry conditions in summer allowed steady ripening. A brief heatwave in late July was managed with careful canopy work. By early October, we harvested healthy, concentrated red grapes with great freshness and structure.
Fermentation:
Grapes were gently destemmed and wild-fermented in stainless steel at 24°C. Light and infrequent pump-overs ensured soft tannin extraction. After 10 days of skin contact, malolactic fermentation took place in tank.
Aging:
Aged 18 months in stainless steel to preserve purity and soften tannins.
