O Produtor, tasting note published in May 27th 2021
Beautiful ruby color. The nose is thin and intense, with notes of ripe, spicy red fruits and toast. In the mouth, it is soft, with ripe fruit well integrated with tannins and very good acidity. Long and persistent ending.
Made with 70% old vines (mixed grape varieties) and 30% Touriga Nacionaland Alfrocheiro. Very fine aroma, complex at the same time, notes of moss and pine alongside very good quality forest fruits. A red wine that excels in balance, with soft tannins, lots of lightness, and freshness.
The vineyards are planted at 500 m altitude in granitic soils with lines of sand and clay.
After careful selection both in the vineyard and in the winery, fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, with controlled temperature. It ages for 24 months in second-year Allier oak barrels.
