Bojo do Luar Rosa 2023

Upon arrival at the cellar, the grapes were destemmed and moved to the “talhas” (amphora). At this point 500gm of ground chestnut flower was added and immediately foot stomped to create enough juice to cover the mass.

Pellicular maceration lasted for 12 days at 14ºC. It was then pressed and returned to the “talhas” for the fermentation to finish. Once completed the fermentation, the amphora was sealed until the middle of December, when the wine was racked to be bottled at the beginning of January, unfined and unfiltered. At bottling 25mg/l of SO2 is added.

This wine is showing delicate aromas of flowers and red/blue berries, refreshing acidity and zesty texture with a pure and savory finish.
