However, Azamor’s vineyard benefit from the cooling influence of altitude. The 27 hectares of vineyards are situated at 350 metres above sea level and are single cordon trained. They are densely planted and grow on clay soils with a bedrock of schist, 1 to 2 metres deep.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003eUpon arrival at the winery, each variety was transferred into separate stainless steel tanks and macerated on the skins. Fermentation took place over nine days at controlled temperatures between 22°C-24°C. The wine was then aged for seven months: 20% in used French and American oak barrels and the remainder in stainless steel, prior to blending and bottling\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page\" title=\"Page 1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"layoutArea\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"column\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe family-owned Azamor estate was purchased by Alison and Joaquim Luiz-Gomes in 1998. Known as the \"bread basket\" of Portugal, the Alentejo has staked a claim as one of the country's most important red wine regions. It is renowned for its consistency of good quality, excellent value, fruit-driven wines. Unlike many producers in the region, Azamor's vineyards are planted on low vigour hillside sites, which gives their wines more depth of flavour.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"London End Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":64671144673657,"sku":"204132522","price":22.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0506\/5405\/2509\/files\/AzamorPetitVerdotRegionalAlentejanoTinto.jpg?v=1789999181","url":"https:\/\/www.londonendwines.com\/products\/azamor-petit-verdot-regional-alentejano-tinto-2022","provider":"London End Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
