Additional Information
The 2019 growing season was a very good one as, apart from one big hail storm, it was very balanced and regular. The grapes (50% red and 50% white varietires) used to make Manicómio Red 2019 were hand harvested into 20 kg cases over the first week of September. They were stored in an open top vat and gas was added daily in order to carry out carbonic fermentation for 2 weeks. After those 2 weeks, the grapes were foot trodden for a few days and afterwards the cap was kept wet through very light pouring of wine drawn from the bottom of the tank by bucket. A wild fermentation was allowed to occur. After these 4 weeks, the grapes were pressed and racked into used French Oak barrels where alcoholic and malolactic fermentations were finished. The wine aged for 9 months on these barrels on fine lees.
This wine is unfined and unfiltered and may present deposit over time.
