Quinta das Bágeiras Garrafeira Tinto 2019

This wine&s grapes come from very old vines (over 90-years-old). They are fermented for 5 to 8 days in a lagar without destemming (the berries are not removed from the cluster). Subsequently, they are pumped down with a wooden punch down tool, several times a day, until they reach the right intensity. Afterwards, the wine finishes its fermentation in old wooden tonels. While it rests, it is decanted and aged in the same tonels for about 18 months. It is bottled without fining or filtration. All these processes are done by hand. It is a wine produced only in exceptional quality years.

"Coming from centennial vines, the wine shows quite well this year&s excellence in the region. Compact, its solid structure enveloping the powerful tannins, very fresh and complex, great expression of the grape variety and the terroir. 18/20"
