Winemaking
This wine is an Assemblage of Touriga Nacional wines. It was made from a blend of several vintages (2014, 2015 and 2016). In each harvest the grapes were handpicked into 15 kg boxes and pressed whole. Only the softest pressing musts entered this wine. Fermentation took place in a stainless steel tank at 19°C, where the wine aged on the fine lees, with monthly battonage. The first wine (2014) thus formed the mother vat, where each vintage (2015 and 2016) were being added to, maintaining the process until the date of bottling, February 2017 . The 2nd fermentation took place by the classic method and lasted 1 month. During the stage, the bottles were shaken(“coup de poignet “) once a year, suspending the fine lees. The “remuage” was done manually. Degorgement in September 2020 – 2000 bottles.
