The Process
How is Adega Velha produced?
In the case of Adega Velha, everything begins in the vineyards of the Vinho Verde Region, and in the careful selection of the best red grapes, for their acidity and low sugar content, thus allowing a light and balanced wine.
The wine is then subjected to two slow and careful distillations in an alembic Charentais, acquired in the Cognac region in France. After the distillation process, the brandy is aged in French oak barrels from the Limousin region.
