Quinta do Cardo, Beira Interior DOC, rosé, organic wine processing

The grapes from vines over 40 years old in the highest vineyard are harvested by hand in the first days of September and pressed as a whole bunch. Only the first, weakly colored juice is fermented at a cool temperature for this rosé wine. deliver grapes of excellent quality and expressiveness. They are harvested by hand and fermented in stainless steel tanks at 14°C for 30 days. The very low fermentation temperature and the long fermentation time are an indication that great importance is placed on preserving all the aromas of the grapes and the freshness of this organic rosé wine. The subsequent maturation in stainless steel tanks until May of the following year leads to drinkability and improves shelf life.
