Beyra
The Beyra Garrafeira Tinto is the result of very limited production and is only produced in years of exceptional quality.
In Beira Interior, between the schist soils of the Douro River basin and the granite soils of the surrounding mountains, there are many veins of quartz, allowing better soil aeration, lower nutrient retention, low yields, and fundamentally better sunlight exposure due to the reflection of sunlight by quartz, favoring ripening. This is a unique combination for the development of indigenous grape varieties in old vines, already perfectly adapted to the rigors of climate and soil, as is the case with Tinta Roriz and Jaen. This ‘terroir’ gives rise to wines that are fresh, lively, with intense aromas, but also finer and more balanced.
Origin: Grapes sourced from old vines in Vermiosa, planted in clay-schist soils, in the heart of the Douro International Natural Park, at an altitude above 800 meters.
Vinification: Hand-harvested grapes, partial destemming upon reception, and immediate crushing. Natural fermentation with indigenous yeasts in cement tanks without temperature control, followed by malolactic fermentation in barrels.
Ageing: 18 months in French oak barrels, followed by bottle ageing for 36 months.
