Bom Malandro
Bom Malandro Red is a classic blend, produced from grapes of the noble varieties of the Douro from the Symington family vineyards. The grapes come from higher-altitude vineyards, starting at 400 meters above sea level, favoring a profile based on freshness and balance, and a fruity character.
After a succession of very hot and dry years in the Douro, the 2021 growing cycle and harvest were among the coolest in recent years, contrary to what was observed in the rest of Europe. These moderate conditions contributed to slower and more gradual ripening, favoring balance, while the harvest was defined by three periods of rain that influenced the grape picking sequence. Unusually cool nights contributed to excellent acidity and color in the wines.
Vinification: In stainless steel tanks with gentle maceration by pumping over, a balanced extraction of color and aromatic components is sought, adjusting the tannin extraction to the final profile of the wine we are producing. Fermentation at a lower temperature (22-24°C) allows for an aromatic, appealing wine that is always easy to drink.
Aging and bottling: In stainless steel tanks and used 400-liter barrels of French oak. Bottled from June 2023.
