DENOMINATION

GRAPE VARIETIES
Tinta Negra
VINEYARDS AND VINIFICATION
Grapes sourced in Jardim da Serra. The must was obtained through foot treading.
LOT
This Colheita 2007 was produced with Tinta Negra grapes, from the centenary “Vinha das Mantas” and it was the first foot trodden wine made by Ricardo Diogo Freitas.
Given the unique characteristics provided in a wine by foot trodden (Lagar), strongly full bodied and deep in color, we chose to use casks with capacities of only 300 and 450 liters. We intended the oxidation process and concentration of the wine to be faster and more constant, by not completely attesting the casks and by placing them in warmer areas of the warehouse. In November 2020, 1072 units were filled, all individually numbered.
