Winemaking:
Frades is a red wine produced from autochthonous red grapes such as Touriga Nacional and Touriga Franca from old vines of Quinta dos Frades in the Douro wine region. After partial destemming, the grapes were trodden in granitic Lagares at controlled temperatures and stayed in contact with the stalks and skins for 3 weeks. After this process, the wine stayed for 12 months, subjected to contact with the lees, prior to being decanted, lightly filtered, and bottled. The wine has remained in the bottle for a further 12 months.
Grape Varieties:
Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca.
