O Produtor, tasting note published in May 27th 2018
The color is a little more charged than the typical dog dye. The aroma is exuberant, even somewhat extravagant, with intense notes of bergamot not normal in wines of this variety. In the mouth it allies the typical and powerful tannins of the grape variety with a surprising harmony, making the wine seductive even without the perceptible presence of wood notes.
The fermentation is done in granite mills with mechanical treading. After the malolactic, the wine was transferred to oak barrels, where it aged for about twelve months. Bottling was done in June, after slight gluing and filtration. It was stabilised by the natural cold of two winters and could therefore form a faint precipitate.
Contains sulphites.

VINILOURENÇO has its headquarters in the Upper Douro, in the village of Poço do Canto, near the city of Meda. It was created with the mission of transforming and boosting the production of the vines that began to be planted in the 80’s by Horácio Lourenço, after his return from Angola. His passion for wine led him to develop his heritage. The concept of “Quinta” does not apply to the 45 existing Hectares due to their different locations, Poço do Canto, Vale da Teja and Pocinho. The disadvantage of the higher cost of production is balanced by the greater diversity allowing to take full advantage of all the properties with altitudes ranging from 180m to 700m. The soils are Schist in the lower areas and Schist/Granite in the higher areas. The differences in climate, location, altitude and soil, combined with the same grape varieties planted in different territories, allow the creation of distinct wines avoiding the common standardization. From 2006 Jorge Lourenço creates VINILOURE with the precious help of his father Horácio Lourenço.
