WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Bulas Tinto 2020 is produced from a blend of indigenous Portuguese grape varieties, including Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz, Touriga Franca, Tinto Cão, Sousão, and Old Vines. The grapes are sourced from vineyards in the Cima Corgo region of the Douro. Winemaking involves fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled low temperatures, with an unoaked style being a key characteristic. Some sources mention aging in stainless steel and neutral oak. Viticulture practices adhere to environmental rules, aiming for balance and resilience in the vineyards.
