Teixuga Red 2018

Varieties : Mainly Touriga Nacional, sprinkled with other varieties from the old vineyard.

Vineyards : Old vines from Quinta da Teixuga, aged between 50 and 70 years, planted in granite soil.

Winemaking : manual harvest in 15 kg boxes. Manual selection on a sorting mat. After destemming and crushing, vinification in stainless steel vats at a controlled temperature, with maceration appropriate to its characteristics.

Aging : 40 months in new and used French oak barrels. After bottling, it aged for approximately 18 months in the bottle.

The base is Touriga Nacional, with a fine and complex aroma, with a disconcerting clarity and luminosity. A super elegant Touriga, with hidden floral notes. Very delicate on the palate, it looks like a piece of goldsmithing, with the barrel placed high above the whole. Pure luxury distributed across 3,000 bottles.
