Monte Velho Red 2023 6x75cl

Black fruit and wild berries aromas are nicely enveloped in subtle notes of fresh spices. The palate is intense and rich, with a solid structure and long finish.

Vineyards

From 18-years-old vineyards planted on granitic, schist soils with open clay structure.

Vintage

The 2023 agricultural year was hot and dry. During the vegetative rest period (autumn - winter) there were mild temperatures and higher precipitation values ??than in 2022, however, in spring-summer temperatures were much higher and precipitation was very low. In the vineyard, because of all these factors, there was an advancement in phenology. The harvest was early and concentrated in a few weeks, with the optimal maturation of the various varieties being reached quickly, providing aromatic, intense and highly complex wines.

Winemaking

Grapes are de-stemmed, crushed and fermented in stainless steel tanks with controlled temperatures. Naturally occuring malolactic fermentation is followed by 5 months minimum ageing in tanks before bottling.
