Assobio Red 2021 3 x Magnums 3x150cl

Intense and lively aromas, dominated by red fruits. On the palate the wine shows good concentration, with a pronunced freshness and elegance.

Vineyards

Respecting the wine tradition of the oldest demarcated wine region in the world, these wines are produced based on their native varieties. Versatile and gastronomic, they embody the cooler side of the Douro. Near one of the boundaries of Quinta dos Murças, we find steep slopes forming a valley. In this spot, mostly facing north, more protected from the sun, when the wind passes we hear it whistles (or 'assobiar' in Portuguese). The Assobio range comes from vineyards such as those found there, plots with unique characteristics, at higher altitudes.

Winemaking

Manual harvest, followed by de-stemming, crushing, pre-fermentation cold maceration, alcoholic fermentation with controlled temperatures (Max. 25°C). 10% of blend is aged in used French oak casks for 6 months.
