WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Tinta Negra grapes are hand-harvested from steep, terraced volcanic vineyards across Madeira. To achieve the orange wine style, the grapes undergo a controlled period of skin contact during fermentation to extract color, texture, and light phenolics. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve freshness, followed by a short aging period on light lees before bottling.
