Príncipe de Viana’s philosophy is founded on the sustainable management of their vineyard as a guarantee to obtain good-quality grapes in an environmentally-aware manner.

To attain this, They support their traditional methods with sophisticated monitoring technology which allows an objective decision-making in every step of the vineyard management process.

This also ensures total optimization of water and nutrient resources. The end result translates in excellent quality of the grapes which express the potential of every single terroir.

NIGHT HARVEST

Grapes are harvested at night in order to minimize oxidation, thus prevents possible loss of aromas as the principal goal is to preserve the máximum freshness and integrity of the grapes on arrival at the winery.

PARTIAL FREEZING OF THE BERRIES

Only the skin of the grapes, not the pulp, got freezed in order to break the cells where the elements that give a wine colour, aroma and structure are found, ensuring maximum extraction of fruity flavours.

THE SELECTION TABLE

After a thorough destemming, and before the grapes go through the maceration and fermentation processes, a second selection of the best berries on vibratory selection tables is carried out.
