António Madeira Red 2022

António Madeira Red 2022's winemaking philosophy, from the producer's point of view, is to focus on expressing the terroir of Serra da Estrela, in the Dão sub-region. It goes well with cod, lamb, red meat, white meat and duck dishes.

Winemaking: The aim was to respect the grapes and nature and seek out the expression of Serra da Estrela, so no oenological product other than sulphur dioxide was used. Alcoholic fermentation took place in open lagares with traditional treading and began naturally, with the vineyard's own yeast expressing its identity in the purest form. Very little extraction was sought. After pressing, the wine was placed directly into used French oak barrels, where malolactic fermentation took place until the following spring and where it aged for 18 months.

Tasting notes: Complex nose, notes of fresh fruit, floral touch, spices. ‘Vin de soif’, flavoursome, fresh and elegant.

Grape Varieties: Alfrocheiro, Tinta Pinheira, Touriga Nacional, Gaga, Jaen, among other indigenous varieties.
