O Produtor, tasting note published in June 15th 2022
A rich, deep colour; the intense aroma of wild fruits and flowers. Full-bodied, with firm tannins, but softened by acidity, resulting in a fresh wine, balanced and with a fresh, drawn-out ending. Powerful in the mouth, it’s a wine you can sink your teeth into. And that leaves a good impression.
The harvest took place in September. With careful selection on the vine, the grapes were completely picked and crushed. After pre-fermenting pellicular contact with cold for 48 hours, fermentation took place in stainless steel vats under controlled temperatures and with a total soaking for over 40 days, but without great extractions.
The wine was then passed to stainless steel vats, where malolactic fermentation took place, and then it was aged for 12 months in new casks of French oak (500 Litres).
