A charismatic figure of the 19th century, José Joaquim de Sousa Reis, immortalized under the nickname Remexido, was a cornerstone of the Miguelista revolution in the southern regions of Portugal. Dedicated to social and community causes in the Algarve, he soon became involved in political ma.ers. A rebellious and unsubdued fighter, he commi.ed to the absolutist cause of Miguel I as a general in the guerrilla warfare that bravely opposed the liberals. He’d end up captured by the liberal army in 1838, tried and sentenced to death. A cunning and intelligent man, he was always proud of his political beliefs, and he fought for them until the end. The Remexido wine pays tribute to this legendary figure of the people of the Algarve. 

The destemming at 80% was followed by maceration in stainless steel fermenters. Alcoholic fermentation with temperature control and pushing down the cap of skins twice a day. Prolonged post maceration en cuvaison and malolatic fermentation. The wine is aged for 18 months in new French oak barrels. Coarse filtering.
