ALGUEIRA AMARAL is a new addition to our range of single varietal wines, made with the Caíño native grape. Initially intended for ALGUEIRA FINCAS due to increased production of the variety, this wine is produced by fermenting whole grape bunches, including the stems, and then aging for up to 18 months in a combination of chestnut and French oak barrels.
