Vista Alegre Harvest Porto 2006

Winemaking: The grapes are hand-picked into small baskets; they originate from a single harvest and the wine production follows the traditional way of producing Port wine. After a partial strip of the grapes, the grapes are trodden by foot in old stone lagares. Fermentation occurs with temperature control, being interrupted by the addition of brandy (fire water). This wine, as it is produced, has great aging potential. Single harvest wine, matured in oak barrels for a minimum period of 7 years. Find the year of bottling on the back label.
