Borba Montes Claros Reserve Red 2021

Vinification of Borba Montes Claros Reserva Red Wine 2020: the grapes, coming from previously selected vineyards and generally from vines over 30 years old, undergo a strict ripeness control to determine the optimal time for manual harvest. At the winery, the grapes arrived in optimal condition and partial destemming and crushing began, followed by fermentation with an extended maceration of 10 to 12 days to extract the best aromas and the full complexity of the fruit. This was followed by malolactic fermentation, partly in stainless steel tanks and partly in wooden barrels. For greater complexity, structure, and richness, the final selected blend aged for 12 months in 2nd and 3rd year French and American oak barrels, and 6 months in bottle for final refinement.
