The selected grapes come from the Douro Superior sub-region, specifically from Quinta da Leda and from viticulturists with vineyards preferably facing north and located at higher altitudes. The optimal ripeness and acidity of the grapes are rigorously controlled. After destemming and crushing, the grapes are transferred to stainless steel vats where skin maceration – gentle and at controlled temperatures – and alcoholic fermentation take place.
