Energy value: 83 kcal/100ml (346kJ/100ml)

Harvest: A year of great quality, with high rainfall in winter and less extreme temperatures during spring and summer, marked by high fungal pressure caused by high humidity and mild temperatures. Cool nights helped achieve balanced grape ripeness, with musts from the most traditional varieties, better adapted to the harsh climate of the Alentejo, standing out and producing elegant, exceptionally fresh wines with great varietal expression. The harvest of the Trincadeira variety featured here began on 30 August 2024.

Winemaking: 100% destemmed grapes, with automatic grape sorting upon arrival at the winery. Cold pre-fermentation maceration, followed by fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. Alcoholic fermentation was carried out using indigenous yeast (with no yeast added), aiming to preserve the authentic expression of the variety.

Aging: In stainless steel tanks for 18 months.

Recommended drinking window: 2025 to 2030

Serving temperature: 16ºC to 18 ºC

Tasting note: Garnet colour, medium intensity. Fresh and elegant in style, with immediate aromas of vegetal notes and red fruit, a hint of pepper, and earthy notes of scrubland, dried herbs and some flint. The fruit is very well defined, the tannins are soft, and the wine's volume stands out, with structure and balanced acidity that give it plenty of Alentejo varietal expression.
