Quinta da Pellada Pape Red

Touriga Nacional, full and voluminous with a sweet and structured Tinta Roriz, growing on slopes at an altitude between 350 and 400 meters. The vine is grown within an integrated protection program. Infestation control is achieved through soil movement. The grape harvest is hand made, caste by caste, when they reach the ideal point of maturation, usually between the second fortnight of September and the first fortnight of October. Harvest is placed in small boxes of 10 kg. These wines are obtained after fermentation at a controlled temperature in order to preserve all its aromatic elegance in large wooden barrels and a stainless steel tank for 7 to 10 days. The wine is produced by malolactic fermentation in French oak barrels and has a subsequent maturation period of 18 months to enhance its structure and complexity. Quinta de Lemos Dona Georgina presents a dense texture with ripe plums and gooseberries. Sweet and fragrant in the mouth, with quality balsamic notes conferring extra complexity. Long finish and a good balance between power and elegance. Contains Sulfites.

Ribeiro Santo Vinha da Neve Red presents a complex aroma, with notes of dark fruits and aromas of forest flowers, mineral and spicy. In the mouth it is textured, with noble tannins in gifts, powerful and with a well integrated acidity and a long end. The harvest took place in the third week of September. The grapes were harvested manually, for small boxes of 18 kg, according to a careful selection of the best grapes in the vineyard, followed by a second choice at the entrance of the winery. The grapes were completely destemmed for a small granite mill, where they macerated two days at low temperature, before beginning the alcoholic fermentation, with indigenous yeasts, under controlled temperature. The alcoholic fermentation lasted about 3 weeks, with slight homogenization by walking. Once the fermentation was finished, it was decanted into new French oak barrels where it remained for 12 months. After the bottling and before leaving to the market, it staged a minimum of 6 months in fresh basement. Contains Sulfites.
