Antonio Lopes Ribeiro Description
Produced from typical Dão grape varieties, from a vineyard with 50 years old. Mixed red and white grape varieties, in the proportion of 80-20. Manual harvest at the end of September. The winemaking was done in “lagar” with the white and red grapes all mixed. Gentle tread on foot to crush the grapes on the first day. Natural fermentation (with no addition of yeast). In one thank we used dried chestnut blossom flowers - a few grams were added to the grapes during the treading), on the second tank we add some grams of sulfites. After the fermentation it was pressed and aged in stainless steel vat for 12 months – we used separated tanks to see the difference between the tank with sulfites and the tank with chestnut flowers. There was not a big difference so we decide to blend both tanks and bottle. No fining, no filtration. 9300 bottles were produced, all numbered.
