Piano Vinhas Velhas Premium is a wine with an opaque ruby ​​colour. It is characterised by an aroma of excellent complexity. On the palate, it is extremely complex and concentrated, characteristic of the low productivity of old vines, all well combined with high-quality but discreet wood, resulting from the 24-month ageing in new 500-litre French oak barrels. With a great personality, harmony and minerality, it ends with a long, complex and elegant finish.

  • Soil: Old vineyard located in the heart of the Alijó Plateau with a mixture of traditional grape varieties, vineyard located at an average altitude of 500 m, on granite-schist transition soils.
  • Winemaking: After intensive and strict ripening control by our winemaking team, the Piano Vinhas Velhas Premium grapes were harvested on 13 September 2017, where a manual selection was carried out throughout the blend, and the grapes were packaged in the best possible way during transport to the winery, where only the best bunches were chosen to be part of this batch. Fermentation took place after maceration in order to maximize the maximum possible extraction, with strict temperature control. Fermentation lasted 13 days, followed by 7 days of post-fermentation maceration.
  • Tasting Notes: Opaque ruby ​​colour. Characterised by an aroma of excellent complexity. On the palate, it is extremely complex and concentrated, characteristic of the low productivity of old vines, all well combined with high-quality but discreet wood resulting from the 24-month ageing in new 500-litre French oak barrels. With a great personality, harmony and minerality, it ends with a long, complex and elegant finish.
  • Maturation: After the malolactic fermentation was complete, it was aged in new 500-litre French oak barrels for 24 months. After this time, the wine was stabilised, followed by bottling and aging for 12 months in the bottle.
  • Serve: Between 16ºC and 18ºC
  • Winemaker: Jorge Alves, Valter Silva and Fábio Pereira
  • Conservation: It is ready for immediate consumption and is expected to reach its prime between the 5th and 10th year, but it has the potential to age for another 7 to 10 years in the best conditions of storage. Store in the cellar with the bottle lying down.
  • Food Pairing: Game dishes and well-seasoned oven dishes.
  • Bottle Size: 75cl
  • Allergens: Contains sulfites
