O Produtor, tasting note published in February 13th 2024

The color is bright and concentrated. On the nose, notes of wild fruits like blackberry and cassis, nuances of graphite, spices, and balsamic are prominent. On the palate, it is structured and elegant, with a long and persistent finish.

Mestiço

The red wine Maduro is a blend made with love by Ljubomir Stanisic, Luís Pedro, and Dirk Niepoort, with 50% Vinha Velha Covas do Douro and 50% Vinha Velha Santo Adrião.

More than a chronological stage, it is a characteristic: vital fullness, coherence, assertiveness. A roundness that confuses all geometries. A fullness that never overflows. A wood with marked veins on the palate. A certain hungry madness. Moderated, matured, transformed. Woman, adult, greater. It is to love, adore! To mature.

Coming from a rainy winter, followed by a moderate spring, the vine developed well, with a fresh June that delayed its vegetative growth. Harvest began in the first weeks of August in the warmer areas and ended at higher altitudes in late September. After a vineyard selection, a second selection took place on the sorting table. It aged for 1 year in cement tanks and was fermented in conical inox tanks. The wine aged for 22 months in French oak barrels.

Climate: Mediterranean.

Soil: Schist.

Analytical parameters: pH: 3.65, Total Acidity: 5.60g/L.
