Winemaking: This Moscatel Roxo is the result of intense work shared between the vineyard and the winery. The vineyard was monitored and pampered throughout so that yields did not exceed 2500 liters/ha and the grapes arrived at the winery in a healthy state and at ideal maturity. At the winery, a “proper” winemaking process was designed for this product, different from what was usual in other companies in the region. It consists of an intense selection of bunches followed by pre-fermentative maceration for 5 days, after which fermentation is allowed to begin very slowly, homogeneously throughout the vat, reaching ¾ of fermentation in 3 days, benefiting this wine with the best wine spirits available on the market selected by the company's technicians, followed by a post-fermentation maceration of 5 long months. The final stage is carried out in 225 liter French Oak barrels (used for 2 to 3 Wines), where it remains concentrated. The best barrels were selected for this wine.

Winemaker: Luís Camacho Simões
