The essentials of amphora winemaking have changed little in recent centuries. In this wine, a small portion is made according to this Roman process: the red grapes are previously foot-trodden and destemmed by hand on a table called a \"ripanço table\". Then, a small part of the must, skins, and stems are fermented in clay amphorae, and another part in lagares (traditional stone vats). The remainder of the wine is fermented in stainless steel tanks. \u003cstrong\u003eThe use of amphorae imparts spices and a third dimension to the wine.\u003c\/strong\u003e After fermentation, the wine undergoes a 4-week skin maceration, followed by \u003cstrong\u003e9 months of aging in French and American oak barrels.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eWinemaker:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cspan\u003eDomingos Soares Franco\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eGrapes:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cspan\u003eGrand Noir, Trincadeira, Aragonez\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eAlcohol content:\u003c\/b\u003e 14.5% vol.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCapacity:\u003c\/b\u003e 75cl\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuantity per box:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e6\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eBox Type:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eCard\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eAllergens:\u003c\/b\u003e Contains sulfites.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GARRAFEIRA PORTELA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54293776335193,"sku":null,"price":7.75,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0872\/9765\/5129\/files\/e-2025-03-10T153755.421.png?v=1741621128","url":"https:\/\/www.garrafeiraportela.pt\/en\/products\/jose-de-sousa-vinho-tinto-2019-0-75","provider":"GARRAFEIRA PORTELA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
