Viticulture:
The viticultural season in the Douro Valley in 2009 was warm and dry, with some heat spikes during the summer. Despite the lack of rainfall, the vines were able to thrive due to the unique schist soils in the region. The resulting wines were highly regarded, with good structure and balance.
Fermentation:
Fermented in stainless steel vats with temperature control. This meticulous approach ensured that the wine underwent fermentation under optimal conditions, preserving its delicate aromas and flavors. Notably, a wild fermentation technique was employed, harnessing the natural yeast present in the grapes to initiate fermentation.
Aging:
Following fermentation, the wine was carefully transferred to an 11,000-liter French oak barrel, known as a balseiro, for the aging process. The wine was left to mature within the oak barrel for a remarkable period of 14 years. This extended aging duration allowed the wine to develop a luxurious and intricate character, seamlessly integrating the unique flavors contributed by the diverse grape varieties used in the blend.
