Quinta das Bágeiras Aguardente Bagaceira

This aguardente is produced with only the pomace from red grapes. One of the rare features of this production, very important in the analytical and aromatic fields, is that the distillation is done immediately after the conclusion of the fermentation in the lagar (stone vat), thus getting an extremely low methanol content. Another interesting aspect is that it is vinified without removing the stalk, since we came to the conclusion, through previous trials, that the aromatic intensity of an aguardente bagaceira resulting from non-destemmed grapes is much more delicate. This aguardente is distilled in a column still at our own winery.
