Principal Calcareous Red

Winemaking of Calcário 3 Principal Tinto: Manual harvest with selection on a sorting table at the winery entrance. This is followed by destemming and crushing, with the resulting must transferred to temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks for alcoholic and malolactic fermentation. Maceration for about 20 days, using the delestage technique. The wine ages for 24 to 30 months in used 225-litre French oak barrels. It then ages for another 6 years in the bottle before being released onto the market.
