Winemaking
The 2017 viticultural year was charac- terized by being extremely dry and hot. The evolution of climatic conditions has contributed to an earlier sprouting that has occurred throughout the entire veg- etative cycle.
The harvest began on Au- gust 11th, in some white varieties, and then followed with normality in the red varieties until the end of September. This wine is exclusively obtained from the Touriga Nacional grape variety of the highest part of the Quinta da Pache- ca estate at 300 meters of altitude. After careful selection by their best state, the grapes were harvested for chests of 25 kg and sent to the wine- making center where they were slightly pressed after being cooled. The first third part of the fermentationoccurred in stainless steel vats at a con- trolled temperature between 12-14° C, then the must was transferred to new and second year French oak barrels where it stayed until April 2018 with bâtonnage of the fine lees in between.
About manufacturer
Quinta da Pacheca, one of the best known estates in the Douro region, was also one of the first properties to bottle wine under its own label. It is first mentioned in a document dated April 1738, where is it referred as “Pacheca’s”, because it was property of D. Mariana Pacheco Pereira. But it was only in 1903, when Dom José Freire de Serpa Pimentel decided to develop his interest in oenology, that he bought the estate and began to seriously dedicate himself to the risky business of winemaking. Today, a century and many successes later, a brand-new generation of the Serpa Pimentel family is at the head of Quinta da Pacheca: Maria, Catarina and José are the young new faces of this family old company.
