Varieties

Winemaking
The grapes for the making of GRÃO VASCO DÃO RED were vinified at Quinta dos Carvalhais winemaking facilities. After stalk-removal and soft crushing, the masses were led by gravity into stainless steel fermentation vats with automatic temperature control and pumping-over. Fermentation lasted for about 5 days, with several pumping-
over operations being carried out, so as to softly extract the bouquet and the phenolic compounds.
Ageing and Storage
GRÃO VASCO DÃO RED 2002 matured in stainless steel vats until bottling, which took place in several stages to keep the freshness of the final blend. The wine matured in bottle before being launched into the market, which happens when the wine reaches the ideal time for drinking. GRÃO VASCO DÃO RED will keep on developing for another 2-3years. The bottle must be kept horizontally, in a cool dry place, sheltered from light.
