This brand is always produced with 100% Moscatel de Setúbal grapes from our vineyards located in the clay-limestone hills of Serra da Arrábida in Azeitão. From our Moscatel de Setúbal reserves we selected a lot of several harvests over 5 years old, which is made up of wines with a minimum of 5 years of aging. Each harvest originated from certified vineyards in the demarcated Region D.O. Setubal. The winemaking technology used was the one traditionally used in D.O. Setúbal of this Region: after a short fermentation of the must in contact with the skins, selected wine brandy was added which, by stopping fermentation, allowed the conservation of an original sweetness of the grapes. The wines from each harvest were kept during the winter following each harvest in contact with the skins and then the masses were pressed. Subsequently, they age in 225 litre oak barrels, in a special warehouse where there are wide temperature variations. These aging conditions lead to a concentration and intensity of aromas and flavors, which further accentuate the unique personality of these fortified wines. This lot was bottled on December 22, 2022.
