Monte das Servas Escolha Red 2020

Tasting Notes

Clear wine, garnet red, aroma of red fruits, floral and light vegetal notes. Elegant, balanced, complex and with a persistent finish.

Viticulture

Vineyards installed in red soils derived from brown or crystalline limestones, with patches of schist, benefiting from a Mediterranean climate with high thermal amplitudes and hot and dry summers. After the necessary green interventions during the vegetative cycle, the grapes were mechanically harvested at the optimum point of ripeness.

Vinification

After reception by grape variety, the grapes are destemmed and crushed, followed by pre-fermentative maceration. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats.
