Our iconic Portuguese Cobrançosa scores highest in overall fruit and displays savory vegetal characteristics along with juicy fruit notes of raspberry and unripe stone fruit. These Cobrancosa trees experienced a higher irrigation, therefore resulting in lower phenolic content. Please note that this batch of Cobrancosa came from the same groves as our Cobrancosa Reserve that we had earlier this year.
Our partner producer (SAOV) in Portugal is using a high vacuum during malaxation to remove all of the oxygen in this processing stage where the oil spends the most time and is most prone to oxidation. This cutting edge and very technical method preserves the phenolic content, the overall chemistry plus the flavor characteristics while reducing other oxidation markers.
