This new Roquette & Cazes 2006 has taken the teachings of its elder brother Xisto, the first wine of this venture.

The grapes come from two vineyards located in different parts of the Douro Valley: the Cima Corgo and the Douro Superior. Grapes varieties are planted separately.Grapes were carried into Quinta do Crasto´s winery in 25 kg boxes. After a rigorous selection, stalks were removed and grapes were crushed and transferred into stainless steel conic shaped vats. Then, a long maceration period took place using "delestage", an alternative French technique to the classic pumping over method.
