WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Portuga Reserva 2021 is produced through fermentation in cement and stainless steel vats, with temperatures controlled between 28-30°C and programmable pumping over. Maceration involves a submerged cap for 28 days. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for approximately four months in 250-liter oak barrels, which can be French, American, or Portuguese oak. Harvest for the grapes typically occurs in the second half of September, with a mix of mechanical and manual picking methods.
