Red wine

about the wine

It represents the diversity of the region and its main grape varieties, Espadeiro, Padeiro, and Borraçal (excluding Vinhão). Without gas and sugar, it is a light, fresh wine with good aromatic intensity.

It was a year of high precipitation and elevated temperatures. During the vegetative dormancy period (Autumn – Winter), higher temperatures and greater precipitation were recorded.
In Spring and Summer, both precipitation and temperature remained high. The harvest period was hot and dry, which resulted in a year of good productivity and quality.
