Description
Produced for the first time in 1986, they are wines of tradition and quality, classics of the Alentejo region.
Cartuxa red is a blend of Aragonez, Trincadeira, Alicante Bouschet and others, planted in the Eugénio de Almeida Foundation vineyards. When the grapes are judged to be perfectly matured, they are carefully picked and brought into the winery for de-stalking, gentle crushing and fermentation in temperature controlled steel vats. There follows an extended maceration period followed by maturation in vats and barrels for 12 months. The wine is aged in bottle for 18 months prior to release.
