Marquês d'Almeida Tinto 2020

Grape Varieties: 40% Tinta Roriz and 60% Touriga Nacional.

Tasting Notes: Wine aroma/nose: fresh and elegant with notes of red fruits enhanced by subtle notes of wood. The palate is intense and smooth with a persistent final texture.

Vinification: After total destemming, the grapes are crushed softly and pass through a thermal shock, followed by a period of cold pre-fermentative maceration for about 12h to 24 hours. The must is transferred to broad and low fermentation stainless steel vats, where the maceration occurs for 8 days at 22ºC.

Ageing: 4 months, 50% in stainless steel and 50% in French and American oak barrels.

Gastronomy: This wine matches with meats, cheeses and most Mediterranean cuisine. Serve between 15º and 16ºC.
