Cortes de Cima, Tinto, Alentejo, 2018
All grapes are grown sustainably on the ancient clay over limestone soils in vineyards surrounding the estate in Vidigueira.
Each parcel was harvested separately according to ripeness. The fruit was destemmed and gently crushed, following fermentation under temperature control for 2 weeks in stainless steel tanks, with gentle punchdowns, pumpovers and delestage. The wine is then matured in 1st-4th year French (80%) and American (20%) oak barrels for 12 months. Bottled at the estate in April 2017.
