Mar da Palha Tinto 2018

Grape Varieties: 50% Syrah, 30% Touriga Nacional, 20% Touriga Franca.

Tasting Notes: Intense color, violet tones with good concentration on the nose. Extremely rich aroma, with predominant notes of ripe red fruit and some floral notes, well integrated with the spices of the French oak. The finish is rich and elegant.

Vinification: The grapes, previously destemmed, underwent pre-fermentation maceration at low temperatures for 12 hours. Alcoholic fermentation took place in lagares, with temperature control, not exceeding 26ºC, for 10 days. Malolactic fermentation and aging took place for 18 months in second and third use French oak barrels.
