O Produtor, tasting note published in May 27th 2023
It is a wine with good aromatic intensity, very characteristic of the variety, floral and with well integrated wood notes. It presents itself in the mouth with very good structure, present but soft tannins, elegant with a long and persistent finish.
This wine is made from grapes sourced from a 32-year-old vineyard plot located at 140 meters of altitude.
Manual harvest, destemming, and crushing. Fermentation occurred over 7 days in a granite lagar, with foot treading and pump-overs. At the end of the alcoholic fermentation, the wine was transferred to second- and third-year French oak barrels, where malolactic fermentation took place, followed by aging for about 18 months.
Aging: 18 months in French oak barrels.
