VINIFICATION

Grapes come from different vineyards on our Estate. They all have been planted in 2006 and have been managed only for the production of rosé for the past 3 years.

The hand-picked grapes went through a tight selection process in the vineyard and winery. After gentle crush to prevent skin maceration, the juice undergoes 48h of static decantation. Fermentation occurs naturally in new and used French oak barrels of 500L and 225L. It rests there for 10 months, with weekly bâtonnage.

CHARACTERISTICS

Pale salmon color. The nose complexity is given by the Atlantic rich flavors, light red fruit, and elegancy of the oak. It has a refined and velvety texture, Ocean flavors and crispy acidity. It finishes long and intense.

Merlot

VINIFICATION

Grapes picked from the original vineyard planted by Baron Bodo von Bruemmer on the top of Casal Sta Maria.

The hand-picked grapes went through a tight selection process in the vineyard and winery. After gently crushing the grapes the juice stayed a few days in cold maceration in small open vats (lagares). The fermentation took 3 weeks with a daily press of the skins. After the fermentation started, the vats were closed and stayed like this for a couple of weeks. The wine aged for 12 months in used and new French oak barrels of 225L and 500L.

CHARACTERISTICS

Fresh, with notes of roasted red peppers, chocolate and notes of cocoa. Firm tanins, elegant and good acidity typical from the region. Silky in the mouth, deep, with a long after taste with notes of vanilla and spice from the aging in barrels
