Vinification
Plot winegrowing work (various distinct Syrah plots) from the harvest to the end of the ageing process. Handmade harvest, with manual sorting. Desteming with no crushing. Fermentation in stainless steel temperature controlled vats. 10 days maceration. Stage for about 16 to 20 months in french oak barrels, 30% of which new ones.

Tasting Notes
Excellent in concentration because it is at the perfect state, without being exaggerated. Dense and lively aroma, with black fruits, spices and good vegetable notes. Very elegant in the mouth, delicate tannins and refreshing acidity. Evident class. João Paulo Martins, Revista de Vinhos magazine
