Product information "Quinta Vale Dona Maria Vinha da Francisca 2017"
The Quinta Vale Dona Maria Vinha da Francisca is a very elegant and fresh wine, with great colour - violet, dark red and purple. It has a wonderful concentration of dark fruit aromas, black cherry and plum, as well as the elegance of Quinta Vale Dona Maria's traditional raspberry aromas. Great balance in harmony with the acidity. Intense and velvety with finesse and elegance, with a very long fruity finish.

After the harvest, all the grapes are crushed with the feet in the traditional "lagares" for one to three days, before being left to ferment in different barrels for seven to ten days, with temperatures ranging from 22° to 27° C.
The wine is then transferred for malolactic fermentation in 225 l and 300 l barrels made of new French Allier oak.
