O Produtor, tasting note published in April 15th 2022
Pale pink in colour, Catarina Rosé 2021 is marked by scents of violets and woodland fruits; in the mouth these aromatic sensations are enhanced and intense, which together with good acidity, give a wine with an elegant, full, very mineral and fresh finish.
For this rosé two grape varieties were selected, the emblematic Castelão (75%), one of the most important of the
and the iconic Cabernet Sauvignon (25%), the variety used in the famous Bordeaux wines, the best known and most popular in the world, which also gives rise to the famous Quinta da Bacalhôa.
After careful grape sampling in the vineyards, the harvest dates are set. The Castelão planted in the Pinheiro Ramudo vineyard was harvested on September 15, 2021 and the Cabernet Sauvignon from the Catarina vineyard entered the winery on September 24, 2021.
The grapes enter the winery, are cooled and gently pressed; the must obtained, after being clarified, ferments at low temperatures (10 – 12oC), thus achieving a very slow fermentation in order to preserve the primary aromas of the grape varieties.
The final blend was then made in December 2021 on the 14th.
Castelão contributes with aromas of red fruits like strawberry and blackberry. Cabernet, contributes aromas of violets and berries.
