Gutsy Portuguese varieties with all the aroma, flavor and textural signatures of these deeper, herbal and tannic red varieties we’ve come to know and love. The vast majority of the blend remains Touriga Nacional, Souzao, and Tinta Roriz, however, we feathered in a tiny bit of Sauvignon Blanc as we did the last few years since we received such great feedback from all of you.
Winemaking Notes: The Tinta Roriz was whole cluster / direct pressed, no skin contact. The Touriga Nacional & Souzao were foot trodden together and promptly bladder pressed. Natural primary fermentation with no temperature control or fermentation aids of any sort. Full native malolactic conversion. 5 months on the lees, on racking before blending and bottling. Unfined and Unfiltered.
