O Produtor, tasting note published in March 20th 2019

This wine displays an intense ruby red colour. Its aroma is complex, with notes of red fruits, some floral undertones, and hints of orange peel, all enveloped by subtle smoky notes originating from ageing in oak barrels for about 6 months. The tasting experience is captivating, revealing a high balance between structure, acidity, and alcohol. It unfolds as enveloping, silky, and persistent, with the fresh character typical of the Touriga Nacionalgrape variety.

Conde de Mértola

The Frederick Von S. exhibits a luxurious blend of flavours, becoming a true delight for the senses. With its rich and velvety profile, each sip is a journey through layers of complexity, creating a harmonious symphony of flavours that lingers even after the glass is empty.
Crafted in accordance with organic farming standards, no synthetic chemical fertilisers, pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, or other chemical agents are used. Weeding is a manual process, and the vines are fertilised annually through the planting of certain types of local plants that replenish the ideal nitrogen level in the soil.
The characteristics of both the soil and subsoil, the Mediterranean climate, the complexity of the waters, and the irrigation method are ideal for the noble Trincadeira and Aragonês varieties, resulting in grapes with unusual characteristics and quality.
The grapes are harvested manually, sorted in the field, and transported in boxes limited to 15 kg to avoid crushing during transportation. Upon reaching the winery, the grapes are once again sorted and pressed. Vinification involves gentle pressing and post-fermentative maceration, in accordance with organic production techniques. The entire fermentation process is controlled through regular laboratory tests.
The combination of high-quality organic farming and advanced winemaking technology results in an exceptional organic wine. Whether enjoyed on its own or paired with hearty dishes (oven-baked meat dishes, cheeses, and fine charcuterie), this red wine is for those seeking a sophisticated tasting experience.
