Quinta do Pessegueiro Porto DOC Late Bottled Vintage 2017

The year 2017 was extremely hot and dry. Due to the weather conditions, the vegetative cycle started too early, and therefore this harvest was one of the earliest in the history of the Douro. The harvest also took place at a very fast pace, the lack of water and the high temperatures led to an increase in sugar concentration in a very short time, and therefore there was a need to harvest as soon as possible. It was the earliest and shortest harvest ever. In 2017 there was
a lower production volume as the vines had fewer clusters of grapes, but the concentration was excellent.

The grapes come from 40-year-old vines on two of Quinta's parcels of land, which face north-east and lie 150 meters above sea level. After manual harvest in boxes of 25 kg. the grapes were kept in the fridge for 12 hours. Vinification was carried out by 5 days of foot stomping in the vineyard. During the vinification and aging process, the wine was gently stirred by gravity and without the use of pumps.

Light ruby ​​red color, very fresh aromas of raspberry and cherry. In the mouth it is robust and
intense and finishes with a very dry finish. Traditional LBV style.
