ABOUT THIS WINE
Pomar do Espírito Santo Reserva is crafted by ManzWine, a boutique estate founded by André Manz in the historic village of Cheleiros, located in the Lisboa wine region. While Manz is famous for reviving the nearly extinct white grape Jampal, their red wines showcase the incredible potential of traditional Portuguese varieties grown in close proximity to the Atlantic Ocean. The name 'Pomar do Espírito Santo' (Orchard of the Holy Spirit) references a historic local agricultural parcel, reflecting the deep-rooted heritage of the Cheleiros valley.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The grapes are hand-harvested at optimal ripeness from clay-limestone vineyards. After complete destemming, fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks with prolonged maceration to extract color, structure, and aromatics. The wine is then aged for several months in a combination of French and American oak barrels to soften the tannins and impart complex secondary characteristics, followed by further refinement in the bottle before release.
