WINEMAKING
Our grapes were carefully selected and totally destemmed on arrival at the winery. “Lagares” with mechanical foot treading were used for fermentation at a controlled temperature of 25ºC. After malo-lactic fermentation, the wine was transferred into a combination of half French and half American oak barrels for a 10 months ageing.
ALCOHOL CONTENT: 14%

Our Montaria Grande Escolha pairs perfectly with Lamb Stew with Lemon and Figs or Pork Tender-loin with Fresh Mango Salsa.
