O Produtor, tasting note published in March 24th 2023
Delicate aromas combined with a spicier character, with discreet fruit and a little greenness associated with the use of stems. Intense color and a nervous, tangy mouthfeel make this a gastronomic wine, but very enjoyable served at a lower temperature. This is a relaxed blend of the region's finest red and white grapes.
Pretexto Palhete is made from the co-fermentation of traditional Dão red and white grapes. The blend comprises 70% Jaen and Alfrocheiro and 30% Encruzado and Bical from high-altitude vineyards with granite soils.
Hand-picking took place on September 3 in Vila Nova de Tazem.
Pretexto Palhete was fermented in a 1500 kg clay tank with part of the whole bunch and macerated for 20 days. The wine was then placed directly into used French oak barrels and aged for 11 months.

Textura Wines
Textura Wines is a family project started in 2018 in Dão on the slopes of Serra da Estrela and involving organic viticulture, terroir wine production and wine tourism. In search of existing vineyards in a region of small producers, we have 22 ha of vineyards on 7 different plots in Vila Nova de Tazem and in Penalva do Castelo. With a low-intervention oenology, which reflects the soil and the location of each of our vineyards, the aim is to achieve wines with character, elegant and distinctive. Respect for the place and its biodiversity (soil, flora and fauna, people and community), the preservation of resources (natural and cultural) and local development are the basis of our fundamental principles.
