he normal Pomar do Espírito Santo is made every year in line with André Manz’s personal taste for fresher wines with a balance between fruit and “wood”, which is why only 30% of the wine is aged in barrels. In years when we feel the quality is above average, we select the best plots from the vineyard and age part of the Pomar do Espírito Santo in new French and American oak barrels, where it remains for 12 months. These barrels originate this wine and are editions that we don’t make every year, which is why the labels change with each harvest, as if it were a commemorative stamp.
