Vicentino Colheita 2014 Red
The Vine and the Sea
Vicentino's castes are blessfuly located over the Alentejo coast, thriving on the Portuguese sun and the Atlantic breeze.
Soil and Castes
Planted in schist-clay and loamy-sandy soils, with low productive potential, Vicentino's castes bear its best traits.
Vinification and Stage
Separately by caste and for 10 days at 26ºC, followed by a period of long maceration, keeping the contact with the must. Part of the stage in French oak barrels for 8 months.
Tasting Notes
Vicentino's red is the wine that better portraits the fusion between the hot Alentejo lowlands and the coolness from the Costa Vicentina. Its ripe red fruits aroma is supplemented on the mouth by the tannins that are softened by the cask and by the acidity perserved by the Atlantic breeze. From its tasting pervails the sensation of a palate filled by an elegant and soft wine with an admirable long aromatic finish.
