Quinta das Bágeiras Avô Fausto Tinto 2021

Average production: 2 000 bottles

The grapes that make up this wine come from a group of plots which, due to their features (soil, sunlight exposure, etc.), result in elegant and fresh red wines. The two grape varieties were fermented without destemming for about a week in a lagar (stone vat). Throughout this period, the must was punched down with a wooden punch down tool, several times a day, until the wine reached the desired intensity. Finally, the wine fermentation was concluded in used barrels from Burgundy (French oak) where the wine aged. Subsequently, it went into a small wooden tonel where it remained until bottling, without fining or filtration.

“Balsamic and aromatic resin together with intense fruit of mulberry and plum, some pepper, saffron, slight tobacco. Medium to full-bodied in the mouth, nervous tannin full of spice, quite fresh and dynamic, with a very long, elegant and simultaneously muscular finish. 18/20”
