Our wine cellar features the latest technology in combination with traditional ways of winemaking. All grapes that arrive in the ‘Adega’ are hand-picked and follow the process of soft maceration in order to assure superior wine quality. This process is applied to each type of grape separately to maximize the potential of each individual grape variety.
