The Pacheca Vale de Abraão Harvest 2017 is a wine obtained from Touriga Franca and Touriga Nacional grapes from the Quinta de Vale de Abraão, from the vineyards of Vale do Rio Pinhão and from the vineyards of Vale da Vilariça. The grapes were harvested in 25 kg boxes, after careful selection for their best state of health, and sent to the winery center where they were completely de-stemmed. Fermentation took place for 9 days in a 14-ton granite mill, with foot treading and gentle pumping over to leach the mat and extract phenolic and aromatic compounds. At the end of alcoholic fermentation, the wine was transferred to stainless steel vats where malolactic fermentation took place and subsequently aged in new French oak barrels for 18 months. It is a deep violet colored wine. The aroma is very fruity, with evident notes of ripe black fruit, such as blueberry and black currant, while being fresh with oral notes. In the mouth it is concentrated, plump, with present tannins, chocolate notes and implied freshness. Long and very persistent finish.
