GRAPE GROWING AND WINEMAKING<\/strong>
\nVines are planted in Douro\u2019s traditional terraces (socalcos and patamares). Vines are planted in Douro\u2019s traditional terraces (socalcos and patamares). The hand-harvested grapes come from old vines located in the subregions of Cima Corgo and Douro Superior. All the grapes of Xisto \u2013 Roquette & Cazes 2003 are destemed and crushed. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel conic vats. Several delestages are applied during the long maceration period. Delestage is a French extraction technique which means that the juice is drained from the fermenting vat leaving the cap behind. The fermenting juice is then pumped back over the cap, maximising the skin contact. This is a very extractive technique but, at the same time, it maintains the elegance of the wine.<\/p>\n
