Doda Tinto

The majority of the Dão batch was vinified in a lagar, then aged in French oak barrels, where it underwent malolactic fermentation. About 50% of the Douro batch was vinified in a tank and the rest in a traditional granite lagar, where it was foot-trodden with a short pre-fermentative maceration. After fermentation, the wine aged for 21 months in French oak barrels, where it underwent malolactic fermentation. Doda was bottled without any addition of fining agents. With a beautiful deep ruby color, in a balanced year like 2012, Doda shows a floral aroma, with black fruits, very complex and with some exuberance. The oak is in perfect harmony with a mineral and very delicate profile. With good concentration on the palate, presence and firm tannins, it is a wine with great structure. The minerality and good acidity bring freshness and balance, in a very long and wild finish. The strength of the Douro with the elegance of the Dão in perfect harmony. Contains sulfites.
