O Produtor, tasting note published in April 27th 2020
A beautifully intense red, the Bioma offers the deeply expressive aromas which are so typical of the Douro Valley, with notes of fruits of the forest, rock rose and smoky hints from the schist terroir. The palate is characterised by a wonderful youthful vivacity and purity of fruit, all in beautiful harmony. Compact and austere, the wine also boasts a full body, firm acidity and fine but assertive tannins. This is a food wine which is best enjoyed with robust dishes. Thanks to its maturation period in wood the Bioma has a robust and multi-layered character. Its finish is long and persistent.
The Bioma Tinto is an organically produced, SATIVA-certified wine created exclusively from our Quinta de Nápoles vineyards whose vines are quite young, with an age of approximately 25 years. In producing this wine, we opted for minimal intervention and a maturation period in an old wooden wine vat which had previously been used for Port. The aim was to obtain a pure wine without too much influence from the oak, but with firm and elegant tannins.
After sorting, the grapes and approximately 50% of the stems were placed into conical stainless steel tanks were they fermented and macerated for 25 days.
Malolactic fermentation took place in these same stainless steel tanks over a period of about 4 months before the wine was transferred into 5000-Litre barrels where it matured for 12 months. As the Bioma is an organic wine, it did not go through any filtration or fining process.
