These grapes come from our Sousão vineyards, located at an altitude of 480 meters, on soils transitioning between granite and schist, resulting in a balanced ripeness that is reflected in this Quinta da Extrema lot. The grapes are carefully selected and hand-harvested into 20kg boxes. At the winery, the grapes undergo a 48-hour cold maceration in stainless steel tanks.

Fermentation begins after this period and lasts 7 to 10 days at a controlled temperature of 23°C. Part of the fermentation takes place in new French oak barrels.

After 18 months of ageing in barrels, some new and some used, the wine is then bottled and spends another year maturing before being ready to be enjoyed.
