Quinta do Vesúvio DOC 2009 Red
93,99 €
Aged for 13 months in new 400L French oak barrels. In 2009, after yet another dry winter, hot summer conditions clearly indicated that an early harvest was likely and good weather and considerable heat throughout the final ripening period brought one of the earliest harvests at Quinta do Vesuvio. The combination of drought and very hot temperatures in August and September set the stage for a challenging crop. In fact, this was one of the smallest vintages in the Douro over the last 15 years, with some of the region’s main varietals failing in some areas under the difficult conditions. Contains sulfites.

José de Sousa Magnum Red
14,87 €
At the José de Sousa winery, some ancestral winemaking techniques are still used, the most emblematic being the use of carving in the fermentation of the grapes. The essentials of carving winemaking have changed little in recent centuries. In this wine, a small part is made according to this Roman process, the red grapes previously trodden by foot and hand-de-stemmed on a table called “mesa de ripanço”. Afterwards, a small part of the must, the skins and the stalk are fermented in clay pots, and another in vats. The remainder of the brand is fermented in stainless steel vats. The use of jars gives spices and a third dimension to the wine. After fermentation, the wine undergoes a 4-week pellicular maceration, followed by a 9-month aging period in French and American oak casks. Deep red color, with aromas of dates, hay, plums, toasted bread, a little clove, oak wood, vanilla, chocolate. Palate with good fruit, good acidity, present but soft tannins. Long finish.

Mãos Signature Rudolfo Miranda White
16,88 €
The Cerceal variety rarely used in mono-varieties, as it is not considered sufficiently complete for this purpose, challenged the younger brother and winemaker Rudolfo Miranda. Since the beginning of winemaking, with a certainty of success, acidity and freshness are its greatest asset and in their aromas the fruit is second to none. Contains Sulfites.
