O Produtor, tasting note published in July 7th 2020

Deep ruby colour. Intense, complex and deep aroma, developing in several layers. Red and black fruits, bushy notes and spices. Taste Supple, full-bodied attack, an explosion of fruit. On the palate, it reveals all its splendour. Excellent texture, present but very refined tannins. Very fine tannins. Very long finish. Very gastronomic profile.

Tecedeiras

Terroir
The various vine plots that gave rise to this wine have their origin in the sub-region of Cima Corgo. Some old vines and plots of extreme varieties such as Touriga Francesa, Tinta Roriz and Touriga
Nacional, planted at different exposures and altitudes.

Vinification
Manual harvesting. Manual selection of the bunches.
Destemming and light crushing of berries.
The grapes ferment in granite presses with foot treading, stainless steel tanks and new 500l French oak barrels. Each of these types of fermentation gives the wine a particular style. After ageing for 19 months in barrels, we make up the blend and carry out a light fining prior to bottling. The wine rested for 1 year before being commercialised. All our wines are sealed with natural cork. The wines are not filtered or cold stabilised and may therefore
precipitate with age.

Lima & Smith

It was in 2011 that Marcelo Lima, a Brazilian businessman, and Tony Smith, ex-journalist and correspondent, got together to buy Quinta de Covela, once owned by filmmaker Manoel de Oliveira, but which had been abandoned for two years. The purchase was the fulfilment of a dream for both of them. The previous team joined the challenge, including winemaker Rui Cunha, and the will to do more and better was more than visible.

In the vinho verde region, Lima & Smith operates Quinta de Covela, in certified organic production, in an area which is the birthplace of the Avesso grape variety, recognised for the quality of its whites and rosés. In the demarcated Douro region, it produces wines under the brand Tecedeiras, a brand with history in the Douro. In the Douro Verde, thanks to its partnership with the Eça de Queiroz Foundation, Lima & Smith produces a classic Tormes vinho verde in tribute to the writer.
