Description
Adega Velha is made from wine with a DOC (Denominação de Origem Controlada) status, original from the Vinho Verde Demarcated Region, a wine region famous for its minerality, acidity and balance, allowing the production of an unique brandy.
It all begins in the vineyards of the Vinho Verde Demarcated Region where red grapes are carefully selected for their acidity and low sugar levels in order to obtain a light, well-balanced wine. This wine, then, undergoes a double distillation process in an alembic Charentais brought from the Cognac region in France. After the distillation process, the brandy is slowly aged in oak casks from the Limousin Region, giving its magnificent amber colour and rich bouquet.
