This great Ruby is born in a classic way. Touriga Nacional,Touriga Franca,Tinta Roriz, Tinta Barroca and Tinto Cão grapes have grown on the slate of the Douro Valley. The grapes are hand-picked from steep slopes and the grapes, crushed with grapes, begin to ferment in a chilled tank, and when half the sugar in the grapes has turned into alcohol,will be added to the range of branding,which interrupts the fermentation and increases the alcohol content of the wine 19,to 5% vol. There are still 96 grams of sugar per litre left in the wine. Bottling occurs after filtration and maturation. Enjoy Ruby chilled

Producer story

"Messias Baptista founded the wine business Caves Messias in 1926, which continues to be managed by his descendants. The headquarters are located in Mealhada, within the Bairrada region. The company produces and sells quality wines from Portugal's most important wine regions: Bairrada, Douro, Dão, Vinho Verde, Beiras, and the Port wine region. Its products also include sparkling wines produced using traditional methods and aged brandies. The company's product range is extensive, with two-thirds of its products exported to all five continents.

Caves Messias owns several estates, among which the most important are Quinta do Valdoeiro in the Bairrada region, Quinta do Cachão in the Cima Corgo area of the Douro, and Quinta do Penedo in the Dão region. The combined vineyard area of these estates exceeds 200 hectares. The company's port wines are traditionally bottled in Vila Nova de Gaia.

Caves Messias is continually researching the production of Portuguese grapes and wines. Around the turn of the millennium, the company acquired four new estates in the Dão region and began marketing Setúbal wines. New technology and production facilities are constantly being planned and developed."
