Winemaking:
Xisto Cru is a red wine produced from red grapes of old vines planted in the Douro wine region as Donzelinho Tinto, Touriga Franca, Alicante Bouschet, Rufete, and Malvasia Preta. After the harvest, the grapes were macerated in oak vats, before being pressed, for 72 hours. After the fermentation process, at controlled temperatures, the wine was transferred to used French oak barrels where it was subjected to regular stirring, for 16 months,  prior to being bottled.

Grape Varieties:
Donzelinho Tinto, Touriga Franca, Alicante Bouschet, Rufete, Malvasia Preta.
