Tangente Red

Discover the Vinha do Mouro Red, a distinguished wine from the vineyards of Estremoz, located at an altitude of 450 meters, benefiting from a continental Mediterranean climate with significant thermal amplitude during the maturation period. This climatic context contributes to the uniqueness and quality of this wine. The grapes are handpicked in small 20 kg boxes. After total destemming, the grapes are foot-trodden in traditional lagares for three days with cold pre-fermentative maceration. Fermentation follows in stainless steel vats with controlled temperatures between 24-26ºC and pressing in wooden baskets with a vertical hydraulic press. About 15% of the blend matures for 12 months in new Portuguese oak barrels, giving it a unique structure. Vinha do Mouro Red displays a medium intensity ruby color and offers an aromatic complexity that blends fresh red and black fruits with notes of spices and a slight vegetal touch. On the palate, it features a well-balanced structure, fine fruit, light and elegant tannins, and well-integrated acidity that ensures a vibrant and persistent finish. Ideal for pairing with rich and varied dishes, it should be served at a temperature of 16-18ºC.

Petite Syrah grapes harvested at dawn and transported carefully to the cellar, where they were partially destemmed. Subsequently, for 48 hours, a pre-fermentative maceration at low temperatures was carried out in a reducing environment. The fermentation cycle took place normally, at a controlled temperature in 20-ton vats. After the alcoholic fermentation was completed, a post-fermentative low temperature maceration was carried out for 96 hours. Malolactic fermentation took place naturally in wood, where the wine aged for a period of 8 months, and was then bottled. In the tasting it shows intense floral aromas of rosemary and rock rose, well integrated with a fragrant aroma of black plums and peppers. Structurally intense and with a well marked depth, it becomes a very pleasant and persistent wine. Contains sulfites.

With grapes from the most typical Alentejo grape varieties produced in the sub-region of Borba, the label Cortiça wine was produced, a true ex-libris from the Adega de Borba. Coming from old vines, the grapes had a strict control in the evolution of the maturation, having been harvested in small quantities. In the Cellar, after the destemming and soft crushing of the grape, the alcoholic fermentation began, which lasted for about 10-15 days with the temperature controlled at 24ºC, for greater extraction of the aromas and fruity flavors of the grape. In order to increase the polyphenolic complexity, the tannins and the structure of the wine, it remained in the vat in a post-fermentative maceration process. The malolactic fermentation occurred later in stainless steel containers. To enhance and elevate its organoleptic characteristics, the wine aged 12 months in 3rd and 4th year barrels, French oak and exotic wood barrels. followed by a six-month bottling stage in the basement. Aroma fine and elegant, suggesting black fruits, compote and white chocolate. Contains Sulfites.
