O Produtor, tasting note published in November 29th 2019

Fragrant, exuberant aroma, a combination of ripe red fruit and spices. Soft attack on the palate, very silky tannins with excellent freshness. Elegant. Remarkable balance. Finishes on the aromatic side.

Tecedeiras Libertas

The terroir
The Tinta Roriz and Tinto Cão grape varieties were the inspiration for creating this traditional-style wine, reminiscent of the claret wines of yesteryear.

Winemaking
Harvested by hand. Hand-picked bunches.
Destemming without crushing.
The two grape varieties are fermented together in 500-litre used French oak barrels, where they are lightly punched down.
After maturing for 19 months in used 500-litre barrels, the wine was lightly racked and bottled. The wine rested for a year before being marketed.
All our wines are corked with natural cork.
The wines are neither filtered nor cold-stabilised and may therefore produce a 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.
