INFO: The top section of the Boa Vista vineyard called Outeiro has consistently produced wines of great character and depth from the 2 varieties planted there; producing a true sense of “terroir”
Production The natural, small tank, co-fermentation takes 5 days. Fermentation is finished in new American oak barrels with battonage followed by malolactic fermentation and 22 months’ maturation.

The resulting wines are intense with aromas of red and black fruits, mocha and spice. The palate is complex and structured with good acidity and weight from the barrel fermentation.
