Textura da estrela Red 2020

Textura da estrela Red 2020

Textura da estrela Tinto 2020 is made up of vines between 25 and 60 years old. They grow on granite soils and produce no more than 4.5 tonnes per hectare. Vila Nova de Tazem (sub-region of Serra da Estrela) is the terroir where the ‘Textura da Estrela’ labels come from. This is a low-intervention red wine in which we do short pumping overs in the first few days of fermentation and then just manual blanket management. The result is a very typical Dão that reflects its genuine terroir and sense of place.

Vinification: Fermented naturally in a wooden vat with 30% whole bunch followed by 30 days of cuvaison. Aged in vats and used French oak barrels for 15 months. Naturally stabilised.

Tasting Notes: Very refined red wine with great freshness. It has a mineral and earthy character, slight pepper and some red fruit. On the palate it is very faithful to its woodland aromas, with resinous notes accompanying the fresh red fruit, velvety and textured tannins, very fine and slightly spicy from the stems. Gastronomic and with a long, dry finish. Aged for an even more elegant profile.

Grape Varieties: Jaen (40%), Touriga Nacional (30%) and Alfrocheiro (30%)
