Red Wine

Field Blend 2015, 75cl

Douro

1808

The 1808 Field Blend red wine was first produced in 2014, using traditional Douro grape varieties. It comes from a 94-year-old vineyard, planted in schist soils 115 km from the Atlantic coast at an altitude of 110 meters, benefiting from a mountainous and continental climate with hot, dry summers.

Vinification: 100% manual harvest. The grapes are partially destemmed and crushed directly into a full tank. Cold maceration for 3 days, followed by 12 days of alcoholic fermentation without temperature control. Gentle foot treading twice a day. 1 month of “cuvaison,” with malolactic fermentation in new French oak barrels.

Aging: 48 months in French oak barrels.

With great aging potential, it pairs deliciously with pata negra ham, aged cheese, game stews, and sausages.
