Quinta do Roncão Reserva Tinto 2017

A field blend from Old Vineyards, with the main varieties Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz and Touriga Nacional.

The grapes are hand-picked and selected in the field and transported in boxes of 25kg to the winery. The fermentation happens without stems in open fermenters-called lagares-,

made of granite and slate. The traditional foot treading provides rich and round tannins to the wine with a long end of mouth.

The skins are pressed in a bag press, and the wine is gravity fed to stainless steel tanks where it finishes the alcoholic fermentation and the malolactic fermentation takes place.

The wine ages in a blend of French and American oak.
