At Quinta da Boavista, to ensure the preservation of the characteristics of the grape variety and total control of the production process, we resort to manual harvesting and manual selection of bunches, followed by destemming and gentle crushing of the berries. For fermentation vessels, we have traditional granite lagares with foot treading, stainless steel fermentation tanks, and for small batches, food-grade PVC containers or fermentation in new French oak barrels of 500 liters. Each of these types of fermentation imparts a particular style to the wine. Our winemaking philosophy is simple: to delicately extract the best characteristics from our grapes. All wines age 100% in French oak barrels, and after an aging period that varies between 15 and 20 months, the different batches are formed. All wines are sealed with natural cork. Not being filtered or cold stabilized, they may give rise to a precipitate with age.

«In the mouth, vigor reigns, with well-defined tannins that, over time, blend with the fruit and enhance the structure and finesse of the whole. Abundant in freshness, this is a powerful wine with a lot of life ahead.»
«It presents an aroma of black fruit, with great amplitude and generosity, well complemented by fresh notes of fine and elegant spice.»
