Vinification: The year 2018 showed complicated weather conditions, which resulted from a delay in the vegetative cycle. Even so, after the summer heat wave it was possible to provide a good environment, with very good quality grapes. LBV 2018 is produced with grapes harvested and selected by hand, trodden by foot with the beginning of fermentation in granite presses, with 1 day of pre-fermentation and maceration and 3 to 4 days of fermentation.
Ageing: Aged in wooden casks for 4 years before bottling. Bottled in November 2018.
