O Produtor, tasting note published in December 22nd 2016
Deep garnet colour. Intense and concentrated complex aromas of red and black fruits, wild flowers, black pepper, coconut and barrel spices. Full body, elegant and fresh. Fresh acidity and fine tannins. Ripe dark spicy fruit and chocolate truffle flavours lead into a long finish that shows earthy minerality.
The vines are planted in very poor soils with a very fine acid texture. The climate is Mediterranean and cooled by the winds of the Serra de São Mamede, providing daily temperature extremes in order to concentrate the acidity necessary for wines capable of ageing. Most of the vineyards are south-facing planted in the foothills of the granite mountains. The challenging growing environment produces very low yields (3tonnes/ha) of concentrated grapes that produce wines of great complexity, elegance and minerality. Pre-fermentation maceration at low temperatures. Primary fermentation lasted 8 days at a temperature of 26º C.
