Key figures
Elaboration
The grapes are picked as early as September in the Douro Valley, then comes the pressing, maceration, fermentation and finally the mutage, which give PORTO CRUZ Ports their organoleptic characteristics. The last stage is interrupted with the addition of Eau-de-Vie, allowing the wine to retain the natural fruit sugar. The ‘muted’ wines are then transported to Vila Nova de Gaia for ageing in barrels, casks or bottles in the Gran Cruz cellars. These different winemaking techniques make it possible to obtain a variety of styles and a wide aromatic range.
