Vinification: CV – Curriculum Vitae Douro Red comes from a single vineyard in the Torto river valley. All grapes are handpicked and selected before being destemmed and placed in lagares. All grapes are foot-trodden 2-3 days before the start of fermentation. The wine will ferment in lagares and occasionally foot treading will occur to extract tannins, color, and flavor in the wine in a balanced way. The wines are racked into 75% new French oak barrels (225 liters) for malolactic fermentation and aging. This wine aged 26 months in barrels. The final blend was made in January and the wine aged another 2 months in stainless steel until bottling date.
