VINIFICATION
The Gouveio and the Encruzado were harvested separately. The grapes were discharged from boxes of 20 kg directly into the decanter-crusher. After pressing, the wort was subjected to static decanting. It was then placed in stainless steel vats, where autochthonous yeasts were added. Part of the wort 10% of the Encruzado was fermented in used French oak barrels, and the rest remained in the stainless steel vat. The Gouveio fermented in stainless steel. The fermentation occurred at 18 ° C for a period of about 20 days.

MATURATION
Of this wine, 10% of Encruzado fermented and aged for about 6 months in barrels of 225L of used French oak. The remaining part of the batch (90%) was fermented and staged in stainless steel tanks. The marriage of the barrel wine with the wine of Cuba contributed to the achievement of a better balance in the final batch between the wine and the aromatic components proper to the wood.
