Vinification of the Monge 10 Years Port from Adega de Favaios

The Monge 10 Years Port - Adega de Favaios comes from the renowned Douro region in Portugal. The grapes are carefully cultivated in Adega de Favaios’ own vineyards. Primarily traditional Port wine grapes such as Touriga Nacional and Tinta Roriz are used, known for their high sugar content and aromatic richness. The harvest is done by hand to select only the best grapes and ensure the highest quality.

After harvesting, the grapes are gently pressed. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks and is interrupted by the addition of brandy to preserve the natural sugar content. The wine then ages for at least ten years in old oak barrels, allowing it to develop its complex aromas. During this time, regular racking and monitoring of storage conditions ensure optimal development and an elegant expression.
