Climate and Soil
In Alter Pedroso, where the vineyard is located, the climate is typically Mediterranean, characterized by dry and hot summers that allow for optimal maturation of the vines.
With an altitude of approximately 400m, it allows a thermal amplitude of around 15º during the summer between dawn and midday. The soil is clay-limestone which explains the quality, finesse and uniqueness of each of the region's wines.
Harvest and Winemaking
Manual harvest, selected for 15 kg boxes. Total stalking, slight pressing with use of the drained tears. Cold static decantation, followed by fermentation in stainless steel vats at a temperature of 14-16°C.
Further stage in stainless steel tanks until bottling.
Tasting Notes
"The wine is soft, with rich red fruits giving awarm character. There is some freshness; acidity lifting the wine's weight androundedness. Drink the wine now."
- Roger Voss (Wine Enthusiast)
