Vinification
Pêra-Manca is a blend of Arinto and Antão Vaz planted in the Eugénio de Almeida Foundation vineyards. When the grapes reach the right point of maturation they are carefully picked, destalked and gently crushed. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel vats and in french oak barrels, at controlled temperature of 16ºC. Then the wine matures on the lees for further 12 months with battonage and another 10 months in bottle, prior to release.
