Rosé Wine

Dona Graça

Bastardo 2023, 75cl

Douro DOC

Dona Graça

Aroma: Elegant and very fresh, with notes of red fruits. On the palate, it impresses with good acidity and a distinctive texture, offering a silky and very fresh finish.

Concept: Exploring the profile of the Bastardo grape variety combined with the character of the Douro Superior terroir to produce an elegant, broad, and highly versatile rosé, perfect both at the table and on its own.

2023 Vintage: The 2023 vegetative cycle progressed favorably, with rainfall helping to restore the soil’s water levels. A relatively mild summer allowed for balanced grape ripening. However, rainfall during the last days of the harvest affected expectations for a completely healthy crop. Fortunately, the quality of the grapes vinified in time suggests a promising harvest year.

Vinification: Grapes were fully destemmed and then pressed in an inert atmosphere to preserve their aromatic potential. The alcoholic fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks at a temperature between 16°C and 18°C. Bottling: June 2024.

Analytical parameters: Alcohol — 13.5% | Total acidity — 5.9 g/L | Volatile acidity — 0.4 g/L | pH — 3.42.

Serving suggestions: Suitable as an aperitif or for everyday meals. Ideal with Mediterranean cuisine, sushi, or pizzas.

Vinilourenço

VINILOURENÇO has its headquarters in the Upper Douro, in the village of Poço do Canto, near the city of Meda. It was created with the mission of transforming and boosting the production of the vines that began to be planted in the 80’s by Horácio Lourenço, after his return from Angola. His passion for wine led him to develop his heritage. The concept of “Quinta” does not apply to the 45 existing Hectares due to their different locations, Poço do Canto, Vale da Teja and Pocinho. The disadvantage of the higher cost of production is balanced by the greater diversity allowing to take full advantage of all the properties with altitudes ranging from 180m to 700m. The soils are Schist in the lower areas and Schist/Granite in the higher areas. The differences in climate, location, altitude and soil, combined with the same grape varieties planted in different territories, allow the creation of distinct wines avoiding the common standardization. From 2006 Jorge Lourenço creates VINILOURE with the precious help of his father Horácio Lourenço.
