ORIGIN
Grapes from our schist soil vineyard, where the cold nights help preserve the full potential of the variety’s primary aromas.

VINIFICATION
Manual harvesting into small 20kg perforated boxes, gentle pressing of the whole bunches without destemming, in order to preserve the integrity of the grapes as much as possible, natural fermentation with indigenous yeasts at a controlled temperature between 16 – 18 ºC in order to obtain the maximum expression of the grape variety / soil / climate combination.

AGING
After the alcoholic fermentation the wine was in contact with the fine lees, which were raised and stirred for about a month in stainless steel vats in order to gain creaminess and volume in the mouth. After bottling the wine aged for 3 months in bottle before being placed on the market in March 2020.

Rui Roboredo Madeira Vinhos

In one of the most remote areas of the Iberian Peninsula, on the border between the Douro Superior and Beira Alta regions, it was among family that its passion grew for the aromas and smells of this land that shapes our character.
After coming into contact with many cultures of living and making wine, in various parts of the globe, Rui Madeira returned to the great Douro valley convinced that they have the potential to make the best wines in the world.
 Out of respect for nature, due to the way we cultivate their vineyards and wines reflect his experiences, which smell and taste of land, of schist, damp granite, rock rose, wild flowers and fruit. 
It is in the winery that he makes wines with the character of our ‘terroir’, expressed through native grape varieties, which instil with a style of their own and an international profile.
