Vinification The grapes were harvested and vinified in the modern winery of Quinta dos Poços, with the most appropriate technology. After stalk removal and soft crushing, the grapes went to granite mills for a traditional menmade tread. After treading the masses were passed into stainless steel tanks where fermentation took place, resorting to temperature control and pumping, according to the must
features. Thus, the constituents of quality, typical of each variety softly passed from the skint of ripe grapes to the wine.
Ageing Aged for 18 months in new french oak barrels. The final blend of Quinta dos Poços
Grande Reserva was made from a very strict selection after numerous tests, wich allowed to choose the wines from the best barrels.
