O Produtor, tasting note published in February 23rd 2023
Pale pink with cherry tones, it has a very intense ripe strawberry nose, married with notes of iodine and black pepper. In the mouth it is surprisingly textured, saline but fresh, with salts to persist and burn on the palate.
Harvested manually in 40kg baskets, the bunches are carefully selected from a sorting table and then the grapes are crushed and transported to the fermentation tanks without the help of pumps. Here they are macerated in 3 to 6 hours at low temperature and the resulting bleeding ferments spontaneously at 12ºC, in order to maintain all the aromatic potential.
