O Produtor, tasting note published in May 23rd 2017
Colourless colour; Very fruity and floral aroma, with slight smoke. In the mouth it is smooth and delicate, with a consistent fruitiness, slightly smoky and with a very long finish.
This spirit comes from pomace made exclusively from red grapes, distilled in copper stills, immediately after pressing. Based on the freshness of the pressed masses, the Bagaceira Brandies are very perfumed and have a low methanol content. After distillation the spirit is stored in stainless steel vats where it is gradually unfolded until it reaches the alcohol content.
Contains sulphites.

Companhia Agrícola do Sanguinhal (CAS) was established by Abel Pereira da Fonseca in 1926 to administrate the estates that he owned in the region of Bombarral since the beginning of the century, still belonging to the same family.
He planted his first stand-alone vineyards (i.e. vines with no other fruit tree in between) aligned and wired, which was considered very innovating at the time, as there were no tractors. Vineyards were divided into plots, each planted with one sole variety (which was also new at the time). He introduced new varieties. In a separate plot at Quinta do Sanguinhal, he planted 30 different varieties to study their adaptability.
The company has undergone modernization over the past few years: vines were re-established based on traditional varieties as well as new varieties to meet market demand; wine-making and bottling facilities have experienced major investments at technological and equipment levels. The traditional ageing in French and American oak is nonetheless still used.
