This is the result of a rigorous monitoring of the maturation of the Viognier grape clusters, which were harvested and subjected to a conservation and freezing process in order to produce a wine that shows a modern profile representative of the differentiation of the Monte da Ravasqueira vineyard. Grapes are carefully collected into boxes and placed in a refrigerator, at temperature of -20ºC for a few weeks, in order to concentrate all of the caste’s rich flavours, sugars and natural acidity. A selection of the clusters is made, followed by a slow and smooth pressing of the frozen grapes for more than 24 hours, resulting in a production of only 2,500 litres.
