Quinta Do Carneiro Reserva 2016 – Red

Descrição

Average vineyard age: 20 years
Soil: Limestone.
Notes of harvest: Quinta do Carneiro’s microclimate, with clear Mediterranean characteristics, offers
excellent conditions for good ripening of the grapes. In fact, the relatively high temperatures of
29-30ºC felt on the southern and western slopes where the red wine grapes are grown, together
with a relatively low atmospheric humidity (< 60%) helped to produce grapes rich in sugar end
polyphenols and ensured excellent plant health.
Process of wine making: Classic fermentation system together with grape and stems. Intense maceration
before fermentation, which one happened with controlled temperature at 25-27ºC. Maceration after
fermentation.
Ageing: It stayed in new French oak during 10 months and 6 months in our cellar after bottling.
Alcohol strength: 14,0 % by Vol.
