Pactus Alicante Bouschet 2021 – Red

Vineyard age: 20 years
Soil: Limestone.
Notes of harvest: Quinta do Carneiro’s microclimate, with clear Mediterranean characteristics, offers
excellent conditions for good ripening of the grapes. In fact, the relatively high temperatures of 29-
30ºC felt on the southern and western slopes where the red wine grapes are grown, together with a
relatively low atmospheric humidity (< 60%) helped to produce grapes rich in sugar, polyphenols and
ensured excellent plant health.
Process of wine making: Classic fermentation system together with grape and stems. Intense maceration
before fermentation, which one happened with controlled temperature at 25-27ºC. Maceration after
fermentation.
Ageing: It stayed in French and American oak during 6 months and at least then 3 months in bottle before
market
Alcohol strength: 14.0 % by Vol
