Quinta da Carolina Xisto Amarelo Red

Ferment in a cement mill, whole bunch with the traditional Douro tread. During fermentation, extraction is minimal, as are all interventions in this wine. It ages in a 1000 liter German oak foundre, over 50 years old, for 1 and a half years and is bottled by hand without filtering or sticking and with minimum levels of sulfites. Of dense violet color, typical of a fermentation with a lot of Touriga Franca in a wine press, the Yellow Schist is very floral on the nose, with some notes of rock rose and pink pepper. In the mouth it contrasts very fresh, black fruit of the forest and some white pepper with a mesh of firm tannins that make the finish very persistent. Contains sulfites.
