Dissident(e) 2021, 75cl

Vinhos Verdes

Sou

This is a joint project of the producer Quinta de Santiago and the winemaker and producer Nuno Mira do Ó. It arises from a sincere friendship and is inspired by “Rock”, a common passion beyond the vineyards and wines! This irreverent but full of freshness and elegance red seeks to recover forgotten grape varieties in a region that was once dominated by red vineyards.

Manual harvest in mid-September. Fermentation with 40% whole clusters and stems, in tanks. Aging for 11 months in tanks and used French oak barrels, and bottle aging since August 2022.

The climatic year is characterized by alternating very high and low temperatures in winter and spring. The summer was generally cool although with some very hot days. The month of September, cold and rainy, led to a dissident red profile from the classic expression of these grapes in their terroir. It presents itself much more as a natural reflection of the year and with a lighter and more relaxed style.

It is a light wine but with good acidity, due to its freshness and lightness, it proves capable of accompanying a wide variety of white meats, fish dishes, and vegetable-based dishes.
