The result of the combination of grapes that are riper than usual and human persistence that risks more than it should, this Late Harvest wine is born. It originated from an idea to make a sweet wine that is not fortified, which is quite unusual in the Douro, especially because it is a red! It was harvested well into November, due to a dry and sunny autumn, which allowed the grapes to gain extra sugar while maintaining perfect sanitary conditions. The result was a sweet red wine, with a high concentration of sugar, which was not fully fermented, remaining in the final wine. It is one of the few, if not the only, Late Harvest RED from the Douro. The grapes are foot-trodden in small stainless steel lagares. They are then pressed, and the must ferments in small stainless steel tanks, with fermentation stopping naturally due to the winter cold.
