Tasting Notes: Very concentrated with balsamic oak notes, fig and black plum aromas, tobacco. The taste reveals a full bodied, firm and mature wine with silky tannins. It has mineral notes and a very elegant, persistent and complex finish.
Vinification: The grapes from the old vineyards (over 80 years old) were vinified in stainless steel, temperature controlled, remontage vats, holding up to 3.000 kilos of grapes each. The chosen parcels of the 16 hectares of the old vineyards at Quinta do Vallado were vinified separately. The fermentation lasted between 8 to 20 days.
Ageing: The wines from the old vineyards were then stored in stainless steel tanks for the duration of the malolactic fermentation and were afterwards racked to 225 litres new French Allier Oak barriques for 20 months.
