Chocapalha Tinto 2019

Grape Varieties: 40% Touriga Nacional, 15% Tinta Roriz, 25% Touriga Franca, 10% Castelão, 10% Alicante Bouchet. Vineyards aged 16-26.

Tasting Notes: Deep violet color, with good concentration on the nose. Rich in aroma, with notes of ripe black fruit and spices combined with floral notes. In the mouth it is elegant and fresh, with an excellent combination of tannins-acidity, and a long, smooth and elegant finish.

Winemaking: The grapes, previously destemmed, underwent a pre-fermentative maceration at low temperatures for 12 hours. The alcoholic fermentation was carried out in mills, with temperature control, not exceeding 27ºC, for 10 days, using a robot for treading. The wine aged for 18 months in French oak barrels for second and third use.
