Additional Information
The grapes that make up Quilómetro come from two old vineyards that are very close to the Douro river and that were the very first to be harvested in 2019 vintage. The varietal mix is very rich, with roughly 70%-30% proportions of red grapes and white grapes, respectively, which gives them quite an unique character. The grapes were hand harvested and whole bunch foot trodden in a traditional stone lagar, where they fermented and macerated for 4 days. The fractions of the wine at pressing were separated. The freerun was taken out by gravity, with no further extraction brough on by the press, and racked into 3 barrels in order to preserve the purity of the juice and to truly see how the different fractions behaved. Those 3 barrels make up Quilómetro.
The wine is an expression of the pure, elegant and delicate side that the old vineyards can show.
