Vinification

Fermented and fully matured in stainless steel tanks. This Encruzado is created from a blend of vineyards from Póvoa das Quartas and Girabolhos, harvested on consecutive days. Fermentation took place at a controlled temperature (18–20 °C) in an inert container. Malolactic fermentation was deliberately prevented. The wine continues to mature in stainless steel tanks, with the fine lees being regularly stirred during the first two months. Subsequently, further maturation took place for 7 to 9 months on the resting fine lees – always in the stainless steel tank.

Oenologist
Tiago Macena

Código Wine comes from the Serra da Estrela subregion in the Dão - one of the oldest and most independent wine regions in Portugal. Behind the project is oenologist Tiago Macena, who reinterprets the Dão's indigenous grape varieties: Encruzado, Bical, Uva Cão, Touriga Nacional - each bottle is an independent expression of the area, vinified in oak barrels and traditional clay amphoras.

The name says it all: Código – secret code. Macena decodes what the vines and terroir of the Serra da Estrela have to say. The result is wines with character and depth, far from uniform international tastes.
