Herdade dos Grous Moon

Just like it influences the tides, the moon also influences the sap inside the vine. This amazing award winning wine’s grapes are hand picked at the time when the moons influence is at its most favourable. Once arrived at the winery the grapes are hand selected. The fermentation and maceration take place in “lagares”. The end of alcoholic and malolactic fermentation happen in new French oak barrels, ageing there for 12 months. An original style of wine that is tested by comparing it with wine made from grapes from the same vineyard picked at a less favourable time of the moons influence. The difference is amazing and it is clear why this wine has been on the 50 Great Wines of Portugal list in previous years.
