Cartuxa Wines reflect the tradition and famed quality of the first people to make wine at Cartuxa. Cartuxa red reserve is a blend of Alicante Bouschet and Aragonez, planted in the Eugenio de Almeida Foundation, oldest vineyards. When the grapes are judged to be perfectly matured, they are carefully picked and bought into the winery for de-stalkint, gentle crushing and fermentation in temperature controlled steel vats. There follows a 15 days maceration period followed by maturation in mew French barrels for 15 months, and 15 months in bottle prior to release.
