It is probably the most emblematic expression of the Alicante Bouschet variety in all its plenitude and its great aging potential.

The historic Vinha dos Carapetos is the birthplace of this complex, rich and intense wine, and from where the small and highly appreciated red grapes are harvested.

Respecting all the centuries-old tradition, with harvesting by hand, treading with feet, fermentation in large stone lagares and manual press, this wine ages in old barrels Nos. 3 and 4 made of chestnut and oak staves, with macacaúba and mahogany bottoms, for four to five years. After this time, the wine rests in the bottle for another 4 years in the cellar.

Long stored like Mouchão, Tonel Nº 3-4 will be best appreciated in its splendor 15 to 20 years after harvest, although it may reach its peak long after that date.
