Integrated Production Method

All the grapes used in this wine were produced in accordance with the Sustainable Agriculture Integrated Production guidelines as defined by the International Organisation for Biological and Integrated Control (OILB/IOBC): www.iobc-wprs.org. The rigorous compliance with these practices is certified by an independent organisation, recognized by the Portuguese State.

Winemaking

Grapes from the finest parcels of Quinta do Seixo and Quinta do Vau were fermented at the Quinta do Seixo winery using the traditional Port Wine method, in granite lagares with foot treading. This ancestral process allows the grapes to release their components and naturally express the aromas of the variety and the terroir.

Maturation

After the harvest, the wines remain in the Douro until the following spring, when they are transported to the cellars in Vila Nova de Gaia, where they age in oak vats. During this period, they undergo rackings, analyses, and tastings, allowing their development to be closely monitored. The final blend results from a rigorous selection process in pursuit of the highest quality.

Store

Bottle in a horizontal position. Ideally, 10-12 years after the harvest date (on the label) Potential for keeping: several decades.

Serve

Sediment forms with age and wine needs to be decanted (after keeping the bottle upright for 24 hours). Recommended temperature: 16ºC to 18ºC. Ideally drink within 1 or 2 days.

Enjoy

Its elegant and complex profile pairs perfectly with rich chocolate desserts, red fruit tarts, and intense cheeses.
