Barao De Vilar LBV 2017 Port

Harvest in the mid-September, the selected grapes were transported to the winery. The grapes were not de-stemmed and crushed in the traditional granite “lagares”. Before fermentation, the grapes were macerated for 1 day and the fermentation
process took 2 days. Finally, the wine ages in large wood vats called “tonéis”, 4 to 6 years before bottling.
