Winemaking:
Quinta Vale D. Maria Vinha da Francisca is a red wine produced from the red grapes of Tinta Francisca, Touriga Franca, Sousão, Rufete and Touriga Nacional from the Douro region. After the grapes were trodden in granite stone Lagares, the wine was subjected to a long period of maceration. The wine fermented at controlled temperatures in granite tanks, where it was stirred continuously and carefully. After the fermentation process, the wine was transferred to new French oak barrels, where it remained for 21 months before being stabilized and bottled.
Grape Varieties:
Tinta Francisca, Touriga Franca, Sousão, Rufete, Touriga Nacional.
