WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of Villa Alvor Tinto involves pre-fermentation maceration followed by fermentation in stainless steel vats, utilizing a very gentle pressing technique. After fermentation, the wine is aged for three months in used French oak barrels. The grapes for the 2022 vintage were harvested early due to specific weather conditions in the Algarve region. The winemaking process is designed to preserve the freshness and primary character of the grape varieties.
