Product information "Quinta de S. José Vinha Ruy Francisco Tinto 2017"
The Quinta de S. José Vinha Ruy Francisco Tinto flows into the glass in a deep purple colour and exudes complex and distinct aromas of black plums and blueberries with light floral notes. On the palate it is complex, powerful and elegant with a hint of minerality.
The grapes used to make this wine come from a very special vineyard, called Vinha Ruy Francisco, in honour of the father of João Brito e Cunha. It was Ruy Francisco who started the first project of the Quinta de S. José project.

After the harvest, the grapes were transported to the cellar in 25 kg crates and kept cool at 5° to 6° before being destemmed and trodden on foot in the traditional way in Lagares. After the malolactic fermentation, the wine matured in used 400-litre new and used French oak barrels for 16 months.
