Aluzé 2019, 75cl

Douro

Pessegueiro

Aluzé is a complete and balanced wine that expresses the character and strength of the Douro and has great aging potential.

The 2019 harvest provided musts of high quality and quite aromatic, generally with higher acidity than in previous years.

Harvest took place in September. Grapes were transported in 22kg crates to the winery. They spent 12 hours in a cold room, then were gravity-fed to the lagares, where the complete fermentation took place with foot treading. The wine aged for 12 months in 225L barrels and 600L casks of French and Austrian oak. It was bottled in June 2021.

Quinta do Pessegueiro

The wines produced at Quinta do Pessegueiro seduce for their undeniably superior quality, the result of a complete and balanced project whose objective is to value the originality and properties of each small vineyard in the truest possible way. At the head of a group that became, after 50 years, the leader of children’s fashion, Roger Zannier is today also present in several wine regions of the world, such as the Douro region (Portugal) and Provence (France).

In his frequent visits to Portugal as part of his textile activities, Roger Zannier discovers Quinta do Pessegueiro, being literally seduced by the Douro property and region. In 1991, he acquires the land, immediately starting to plant vineyards. Thus was born his first and one of his most important investments in the wine sector.

The property expanded over the years and is now composed of three plots, all located in the Douro region.

As this region is one of the most unlikely where man has ever tried to plant vines, it took the foresight and modesty of a respectful captain of the land, such as João Nicolau de Almeida, to associate ancestral techniques with the most modern methods of oenology and viticulture.
