Winemaking Process: Barbeito Boal Old Reserve undergoes meticulous winemaking techniques to achieve its extraordinary quality.
Grapes were pressed in a continuous press. Arresting of fermentation takes place at the desired degree of sweetness by adding vinic alcohol (96%). The juice is then fermented and fortified with grape brandy, retaining a touch of natural sweetness. The wine is aged in oak barrels for a minimum of 10 years, allowing it to develop remarkable depth, complexity, and a rich bouquet of flavors.
