For this wine, the grapes harvest began at the beginning of September till the end of the month in the huge and hot plains of Alentejo. At their arrival into the winery, the grapes were immediately crushed to keep all the original characteristics of the fruit. Then the alcoholic fermentation occurred in stainless steel vats at a controlled temperature of 25ºC. At the same time, during the first 7 days, the must had a skins contact to extract colour, aromas and flavours. Then, the malolactic fermentation was strictly controlled to guaranty the smoothness of the wine. After stabilization, the wine was filtered and bottled from the next spring. Ruby-coloured, with a young and red fruits aroma typical of the Castelão grapes. Fruity flavour with nice notes of strawberry, typical of the Aragonez variety, a fine and well-balanced freshness offered by Trincadeira.
