António Madeira Vinhas Velhas Tinto 2020

António Madeira Vinhas Velhas Red 2020

This Vinhas Velhas 2020 red is the result of combining the various small plots of old vines cultivated by Antonio with dedication. It was awarded wine of the week by JancisRobinson.com by its great quality at a good price.

Vinification:

The different plots were vinified and aged separately. Alcoholic fermentation took place naturally with indigenous yeasts in open vats.

Little extraction was sought, working by "infusion" in search of the elegance and finesse characteristic of the region. The wine was then transferred to used French oak barrels, where it underwent malolactic fermentation until the following spring and aged for 18 months. This was followed by a further 6 months of ageing and harmonisation of the blend in stainless steel.

Producer Tasting notes

Relatively open colour. Pure, complex, granite nose enveloped in stone fruit, peach, cherry, plum, sensations of aromatic herbs, flowers and pine forest. Great balance and freshness in a fluid, crystalline mouth, very pure and flavoursome. Fine, soft tannins. Very long mineral finish.

Analitics: 13.5% Vol,
