TERROIR AND VITICULTURE
The Altas Quintas vineyards are located in a very special terroir. They are located at an altitude of 600 metres, on a plateau that develops in a unique way, in the middle of the Serra de São Mamede. The altitude, the mesoclimate conditions in this area and the soils with medium production potential make this location so special. The vineyard is managed under an integrated protection programme. The grapes
The Aragonez, Touriga Nacional and Alicante Bouschet grapes for this wine were harvested by hand into 14kg boxes during the month of September. They were transported quickly to the winery. The bunches and berries were sorted at the entrance to the winery.
VINIFICATION
Fermentation took place at a controlled temperature, in order to preserve all the aromatic elegance, in small 5 tonne mills, with treading and delestage.
