2020 Queimas D’Ovaia Tinto, Dão
This wine is an overview of our capabilities, a gift to the senses, coming from natural flavors and low intervention.
Varietals: Touriga Nacional, Jaen, Alfrocheiro, Tinta Roriz, and other antique grapes.
Viticulture: Made with grapes from three of our vineyards, with five varieties. Some of the vines are very old.
Vinification: The grapes were manually picked and carefully selected. This wine is made from at least five grape varieties, with a minimalist approach during winemaking, which consisted of the combined fermentation of the grapes in a granite lagar. This resulted in a balanced and complex blend.
Ageing: Aging was done in a stainless steel tank for 18 months.
Tasting Notes: Berries, namely blackberry and gooseberry, with a vague touch of cedar, resulting in an intense and complex aroma. We witness notes of red fruit, such as blueberry and raspberry, and light nuances of spices. The wine has soft and well-integrated tannins, where its persistent natural acidity provides a long and persistent aftertaste.
