35% old vines field blend, 30% Touriga Nacional, 20% Jaen, 15% Alfrocheiro
This delicious red from the Dao region of Portugal was fermented with native yeasts, including around a third of the grape clusters kept whole, then aged for 15 months in neutral French oak barrels. It's bursting with red fruits, earth, and mineral notes with a slight tinge of white pepper. Velvety textured tannins balance the high acidity that keeps the alcohol low and makes this red blend a cellar contender with real aging potential. Textura produces wines with a storied history, blazing new trails and establishing new traditions that we look forward to reaping the benefits of in vintages to come.
The vineyards for this wine are in organic conversion, and cellar work is strictly low intervention. According to the proprietors: "Respect for the place and its biodiversity (soil, flora and fauna, people, and community), the preservation of resources (natural and cultural) and local development are the basis of our fundamental principles."
