Marel Tinto

This wine results of a blend of four grape varieties: Aragonez, Alicante Bouschet, Touriga Nacional, and Trincadeira. The different varieties were harvested in rigorous accordance with their state of maturation. Therefore, each fermentation process has been individualized. The grapes were destemmed, crushed and fermented in stainless steel vats at a controlled temperature of 26-28° C. The care taken with the extraction was common, through a smooth process of pumpovers. After fermentation, the new wines remained separated by grape varieties in stainless steel vats.
