This Douro wine came from grapes in 2019, a dry year. The balanced harvest yielded healthy grapes, hand-picked in late September. Employing a traditional method, the grapes were gently foot-trodden to extract juice without harming the stems and seeds. Following spontaneous fermentation in a clay talha - a large terracotta vessel - the wine macerated on its skins for a lengthy eight months. After natural stabilization and a year in stainless steel tanks, the wine was bottled unfined and unfiltered, showcasing its pure Douro character.
