Wine

To increase the wine quality, the Quinta da Sapeira Estate has been equipped with the most advanced technology of vinification and bottling. This fact, allied to the method of integrate production and to the choice of the best grapes, make this wine a very important quality reference in the Estremadura and Encostas D`aire regions. The first bottled wine was the 1995 vintage "Regional red Estremadura".

The white wine is produced with selected grapes, picked at low temperatures and submitted to cold maceration for 10 hours. The fermentation occurs in little stainless steel vessels, at a controled temperature. The red wine is produced with partial desteming of grapes and fermentation in open vessels (lagares). The ageing occurs in French and American, oak barrels from 6 months to 12 months. The wine is bottled without filtration to preserve all its natural characteristics.
