The vineyard

The Yarra Valley vineyard, located in the state of Victoria in Australia, is one of the country's most prestigious wine regions. Known for its cool climate, this region mainly produces elegant wines.

The cuvée

The grapes come from plots planted in 1990 on a rocky hillside in terraces, with classic Portuguese grape varieties.

Vinification and ageing

Hand-harvested, the bunches are destemmed while preserving as many whole berries as possible. The must is first foot-trodden, in the manner of traditional Portuguese lagars, to extract the tannins from the skins and seeds. The process continues with a gentle pressing, followed by ageing for 10 months in old oak barrels.
