| Soil | Old vines, with an average age of 40 years old, located in Ventosa do Bairro, at an altitude of 100 metres and with an average production of 4.7 tonnes per hectare. |
| Winemaking | Fermentation took place in stainless steel for approximately 12 days at a controlled temperature of 26°C. The Syrah underwent malolactic fermentation in new French oak barrels (500 litres), where it aged for 6 months. The Baga remained in the masses for a week after fermentation, in order to further extract the structural and aromatic compounds, followed by 6 months in stainless steel to preserve the fruit. Due to the year's lower ripeness levels, the Baga was subjected to regular bâtonnage in order to give the wine greater volume and complexity, compensating for the grapes' less concentrated structure. |
