Defio Clarete Tinto Nat'Cool

The vineyard is located in Cordinhã (Bairrada), in a limestone soil with some clay, at an altitude of 50 meters, and has an approximate age of 50 years.

The Baga grapes were selected in the vineyard and at the winery, in Quinta de Baixo, and went through a process of total destemming. The alcoholic fermentation started in contact with the skins, in a stainless steel tank, where it remained for one day, without maceration. The must was bled, and the fermentation ended, already without the skins, in another stainless steel tank, where malolactic fermentation also took place.
