Vinha da Neve
The vineyard is planted following the traditional plantation methods, in poor ground granite soils, with large rocky outcrops, where you can have a magnificent perspective of the highness of the Mountain Serra da Estrela.
The entire vineyard is planted following an integrated Production System, which demonstrates a great concern with the environmental issues. The combination of the cultural practices associated with the judicious use of organic products that respect the environment, give origin to balanced productions.
The harvest occurred in the third week of September. The grapes were harvested by hand, into small boxes of 18kg, according to a careful selection of the best grapes in the vineyard, followed by a second selection on arrival at the winery.
The grapes were totally destemmed into a small granite “lagar”, where they macerated for 2 days at low temperature, before starting the alcoholic fermentation with indigenous yeasts at controlled temperature. The alcoholic fermentation lasted about 3 weeks, with light assemblie by foot treading. After the fermentation, the wine was decanted into new French oak barrels, were it rested for 12 months.
After bottling, this wine spends a minimum of 6 months in cold cellar, before the release to the market.
