| Wine making | Produced using the traditional Port method. The hand-picked grapes are destemmed and crushed before fermentation at a controlled temperature, with skin maceration to extract the best components. The addition of alcohol at the right time defines the balance between the body and bouquet of the wine. This moment is chosen by the winemaker after a rigorous control of temperatures and fermentation density, which depends on the grape variety, the stage of maturation and the final sweetness required. |
| Aging | The wines remain in the Douro until the following spring, when they are taken to V.N.
