Rubrica
The wine was born in Reguengos, on Monte do Carrapelo, in the ten hectares of a young vineyard that Luís Duarte envisioned, designed, and planted—a vineyard treated with care and personal insistence, with his hand commanding every detail. Rubrica was the first fruit of a personal project initiated in 2007. A wine as expected, serious, complex, and tremendously seductive.
The grapes were hand-harvested and transported in 15kg crates to the winery entrance, where they were carefully selected on a sorting table, partially destemmed, and crushed. The different grape varieties were fermented separately to extract the maximum potential of each. Fermentation took place, on average, for 15 days in temperature-controlled stainless steel lagares (25-28 ºC). Daily remontages were performed during the fermentations of the six varieties as needed. Malolactic fermentation and aging in new French oak barrels for 12 months. Bottled in June 2022.
Decant before serving. This wine significantly improves with an hour of prior aeration.
It is ideal for pairing with Mediterranean dishes such as grilled octopus or cod à lagareiro. It also pairs very well with game dishes, such as partridge or wild boar stew.
