O Produtor, tasting note published in October 27th 2023

Vinified at moderate temperatures and using techniques that allow working by gravity, these grapes have given rise to a wine with an aromatic profile, marked by the extraordinary Tinta Roriz, which remains the main contributor to the intense aroma of red fruits, especially cherry and some blackberry, as well as floral notes from the renowned Touriga Nacional. Ruby in color, it reveals aromas of red fruits and spices, adorned with woody notes. Structured and fresh on the palate, it presents excellent acidity and firm tannins. With a long, seductive, and complex finish. Don't hesitate to enjoy this fruity and fresh Douro now. But rest assured it will surprise you after some bottle aging.

The year 2021 was quite rainy, indicating that in the warmer and drier months, we would not have problems with soil water shortage.

We started manual harvesting for the reds on September 6th in the plots that were most affected by the summer heat. We then interrupted with the arrival of rain, and the reaction of the other plots was fantastic. Except for some Touriga Franca that didn’t react very well, the other grape varieties appreciated that rain, and with some patience, we ended up with fantastic grape quality at altitude. Every harvest is different, and this was no exception. 2021 was another challenging and atypical year, where the grapes at altitude ultimately benefited from the observed climatic conditions.

Vinification: Alcoholic fermentation with maceration in stainless steel tanks at a temperature of 24-26ºC. Aging for 9 months in new and used French oak barrels.

Serve with your favorite cheeses or meats as a young wine. After some bottle aging, be sure to pair it with game.
