Hand-harvest at their best moment, the grapes are destemmed, crushed and
vinified in a careful maceration with extraction of colour, tannins and pellicle
aromas, complemented by permanent pumping-over during fermentation. This process
takes place in vats at a controlled temperature between 28-30ºC, until reaching
the desired Baumé. At this phase grape brandy is added (benefit), originating a
fortified wine. A wine of an exceptional quality, obtained by the lotation of
several harvests, in order to acquire a complementarity of organoleptic
characteristics typical of this style aged tawny. Matures in wood for variable
periods of time in which the age mentioned on the label corresponds to the
approximated average of the different wines age on the lot, expressing the
character of the wine in what concerns the characteristics conferred by the
ageing in oak casks.
