| Vinification | This is a 100% Baga wine. Its fermentation took place in lagares and was stopped with the addition of aguardente (Portuguese for Brandy) which was distilled in our Charentais still through a double distillation process. Along with the grape variety that brought it to life, the quality of the aguardente proved to be decisive in the excellence of the final product. |
| Ripening | This abafado ages for at least 10 years in barrels with high oxygenation. |

“The tawny Port lookalike NV Abafado is a fortified sweet red aged in cask for a long time, giving it that brownish color and nutty nose with some varnish undertones that make it so attractive and with a profile similar to the wines produced in a similar way in Douro. The nose is bright and with some hints of cherries in liqueur and flowers; it's perfumed and aromatic, with controlled (and positive) oxidation and a palate that is luscious and sweet but fresh and balanced. It fermented in lagar and was fortified with brandy from their own production, coming in at 18% alcohol. There's no clear indication of bottling date, but there is a lot number that suggests it might have been bottled in 2021. Anyway, there are 1,062 bottles in this lot.”
