Vicentino Red Wine Harvest 2020

Vincentian

Southwest Alentejo and Vicentine Coast Natural Park

Planted in clay-schist and sandy-loam soils with low production potential, the Vicentino grape varieties boast their best attributes. The low productivity imposed by the land acts as a stimulus to the quality of the grapes that are formed, promoting an ideal concentration of organic acids, sugars and phenolic compounds. Achieving this balance between quantity and quality, together with a mild climate, allows us to obtain an excellent raw material.

The grapes are harvested manually into 15 kg boxes and the best grapes are carefully selected upon arrival at the winery. The grapes are then destemmed and fermented at a controlled temperature for 8 days, followed by a prolonged maceration period that varies between 1 and 3 weeks.

Partial aging in French oak barrels for 10 months.

With a deep ruby ​​color, this wine has a balsamic aroma, with ripe red fruits and a slight vegetal touch combined with some black pepper. It tastes fresh, with volume and a finish with captivating salinity.
