Cool nights helped achieve balanced grape ripeness, with musts from the more traditional varieties, better adapted to the harsh climate of the Alentejo, standing out and producing elegant, extraordinarily fresh wines with great varietal expression. The harvest of the Alicante Bouschet grapes featured here began on 14 September 2024.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaking:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% destemmed grapes, with automated grape sorting upon arrival at the winery. Cold pre-fermentation maceration, followed by fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. Alcoholic fermentation carried out with indigenous yeast (without adding yeast), in an effort to preserve the authenticity of the variety’s expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAging:\u003c\/strong\u003e In stainless steel tanks for 18 months.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended drinking window:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2025 to 2030\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eServing temperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16ºC to 18 ºC\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting note:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deep garnet colour. Concentrated on the nose too, yet fresh and complex, with forest fruits, some jam, eucalyptus and olive, alongside an underlying vegetal character and floral notes. Very good structure, rounded tannins and expressive fruit - neither overripe nor heavy - complemented by excellent acidity that lends plenty of drive and character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote on the technical sheet and vintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e This description is based on the latest technical sheet provided by Fundação Eugénio de Almeida.
