Borges Reserva Tinto (douro) 2022

Borges Reserva Red - Douro Vinification: Total destemming of the grapes followed by gentle crushing. Part of the batch is initially vinified using the traditional lagar method with foot treading, finishing fermentation in stainless steel tanks, while the remaining batch is vinified only in stainless steel tanks. In both vinifications, a brief pre-fermentative maceration is carried out, followed by a fermentation with skins lasting 6-8 days at a controlled temperature of 28-30ºC with relatively frequent pump-overs. After alcoholic fermentation, a maceration period is done after which the wine is separated from the skins with which it fermented. All the wine ages in French oak barrels for 18 months.
