The grapes used to make this wine come from the oldest vines at Quinta da Carregosa, which are over 90 years old, planted on terraces, some with walls built two centuries ago. This wine expresses in its profile all the character of the viticultural history of Quinta da Carregosa.

The grapes were harvested manually in the plots that presented a more balanced maturation. The grapes are crushed and completely destemmed. This is followed by a period of 24 hours of pre-fermentation Maceration at 30ºC to maximize the performance of the grape enzymes responsible for extracting color and aromas. Selected yeasts are used to induce alcoholic fermentation, which takes place between 22ºC and 24ºC for a minimum of 10 days. Induced malolactic fermentation with temperature control. Ageing: Once the malolactic fermentation was completed, the wine was transferred to 500 liter French oak barrels where it remained for 1 year. After bottling, the wine aged in the bottle for 6 months before being marketed.

Tasting Notes: Deep ruby color with violet hints. Intense aroma of red fruits, currants, raspberries, white spice, vanilla and cooked strawberries. Magnificent flavor, balance between red fruit, cashmere texture, vibrant structure and depth.

Intense, with good concentration, complex and persistent.
