100% Tinta Roriz grapes from the Vinha da Santa Maria in the parish of Vermiosa. Clay-limestone soils at an average altitude of 825?metres. Hand-harvested grapes, partially destemmed and immediately crushed upon arrival. Natural fermentation with indigenous yeasts in cement vats without temperature control, followed by malolactic fermentation in barrel. Aged for 12 months in French (50%) and American (50%) oak barrels. Bottled in March 2019 without filtration, so natural sediment may form during ageing.
