O Produtor, tasting note published in April 28th 2024
In the life of any winemaker, there are wines and moments that mark our lives, that deserve to remain on our CV. This wine is one of them. We called it CV - Curriculum Vitae. Purple colour, dark red, with a nose of blackcurrant, black cherry, plum and spices and an extremely balanced, fruity and long wine.
CV – Curriculum Vitae Douro Tinto comes from a single vineyard in the Torto River Valley. Over 25 different varieties from a single vineyard over 80 years old – including Rufete, Tinta Amarela, Donzelinho Tinto, Tinta Francisca, Sousão, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz and Touriga Nacional, among others. All the grapes are picked and selected by hand before being destemmed and placed in granite presses. All grapes are crushed by foot 2 to 3 days before fermentation begins. The wine will ferment in lagares and occasionally be trodden on to extract the tannins, colour and aromas of the wine evenly. The wines are transferred to 75% new French oak barrels (225 litres) for malolactic fermentation and aging for 21 months. Final blending is carried out approximately one month before bottling.
