O Produtor, tasting note published in September 18th 2012
With a beautiful ruby colour of medium concentration, this Batuta is the thinnest and lightest we remember producing. It presents a very austere aroma, with the notes of wild fruits in full harmony with the mineral character. The wood notes are discreet such as those of spices. Complex, with great vigor and tension in the mouth, it impresses with the delicacy and balance between concentration and acidity. Fine and elegant in the mouth, with a silky texture and firm structure, it has very polished tannins. Although young, it impresses with balance and precision. Very fine, long and seductive finish. It will age with great class.
Batuta is not a wine made every year. The base of this wine is the Carril vineyard, over 70 years old, and also other old vines (about 100 years old), near Quinta de Nápoles. This wine is the result of a careful selection in the vineyard and on the table of choice of the winery, and a delicate vinification with macerations taken to the limit where all the details are taken into account to obtain a complex, fine and elegant wine. The wine ages in French oak barrels for a period of 20 to 22 months.
