Winemaking Information
The fruit is hand harvested, partly destemmed and fermented in lagar. Fermentation is muted with 77% ABV grape brandy. The wine is aged in very old pipas. It finishes at a modest 19.5% alcohol and 77 grams per liter of residual sugar, in other words considerably drier and vinous than most Tawny Ports. The average age in bottle is four to five years before release.
