Vinification of the Ruby Port by Rozès

The grapes for the Ruby Port by Rozès grow in the sun-drenched locations of the Douro Valley, where the special soil structure ensures optimal water management. The selection is carried out exclusively by hand to harvest only perfect berries for this port wine. The harvest takes place at the ideal ripening point to guarantee a balanced ratio of sugar and acidity.

After gentle pressing, the mash fermentation begins in traditional granite lagares, where the mash is regularly stomped to ensure intensive color and aroma extraction. The fermentation is stopped early by fortifying the wine with high-quality brandy. This step preserves the wine's natural sweetness and fruity characteristics.

Unlike other port wines, the Ruby Port by Rozès does not age in wooden barrels but is stored exclusively in large stainless steel tanks. This approach preserves the lively freshness, fruity intensity, and the clear, deep red color of the wine. The result is a distinctive port that retains its youthful power and finesse.
