Roquette & Cazes Xisto Red 2019

VITICULTURE AND OENOLOGY The vineyards are planted on two terraces. All the grapes for the Xisto Roquette & Cazes wine were hand-picked and come exclusively from the Cima Corgo sub-region and the Douro Superior sub-region. All the grapes were destemmed and transferred to conical stainless steel fermentation tanks, where alcoholic fermentation began at a controlled temperature. During the fermentation process, the French technique of "délestage" was used, which primarily aims to increase the surface area of contact with the skins at the moment when the must/wine is drained over the cap. As a result, a concentrated and complex wine is obtained, which respects elegance and avoids rusticity.
