02 Our Rosé Wine
A Rose of Complexity Designed for the Dinner Table
Following manual harvest, we de-stem clusters of the same traditional Douro grape varieties otherwise reserved for our mouth-watering Tinto and pass them through a prolonged series of gentle cycles in a pneumatic press.
Alcoholic and malolactic fermentation in stainless steel at controlled temperatures between 12-16C for a period of roughly 30 days, plus an additional 10 months in 100% stainless before bottling.
