Winemaking: Made from grapes from an old vineyard, with traditional Alentejo varieties such as Antão Vaz. These grapes, after

harvesting: by hand, were selected, with only those in the best condition being used. After light crushing, they fermented with full skin contact (the entire grape) in a 19th-century clay amphora, where they remained with the grape solids until November 11, 2018. It aged in the same amphorae until the end of spring 2019, when it was bottled. The presence of the skins and seeds during fermentation, as well as the interior pitch coating of the amphora, gives the wine unique characteristics that transport us to sensations long forgotten.
