The wine is placed in inox stainless steel vats that are heated via a serpentine method.
Hot water, at a temperature between 45 and 50 degrees Celsius, runs through this
serpentine system for a period of never less than three months. Once the "estufagem"
is completed, the wine is subjected to a period of "estágio" or let rest for at least 90 days
in order to acquire the conditions that will make it possible for the oenologist to finish the
wine so that it may be placed in a bottle with the required quality guarantee. These
, wines may never be bottled and commercialised before the 31st October of the second
year following the harvesting and are typically batch wines.

that casks are placed on wooden support beams called "canteiros") are aged in casks,
usually in the top floors of the wine cellars, where the temperature is higher, for a period
of two years. It has a type of oxidative ageing in the cask, making the wine develop
