VC Vicentino Tinto 2019
Vicentino is a family-owned winery located in Alentejo, Portugal, and is run by Antonio Ventura and his daughter Filipa. Antonio is a well-respected winemaker with over 30 years of experience in the industry. He began his career in the 1980s at Herdade do Mouchão, one of Alentejo's most historic and iconic wineries, before establishing his own venture, Vicentino.
Antonio's philosophy is grounded in a deep respect for the land and the environment. The winery practices sustainable viticulture and has adopted a range of techniques to preserve the biodiversity of the region. This includes minimizing the use of chemicals and implementing cover crops to maintain soil health and improve water retention.
Grape Varietals & Region: A blend of Touriga Nacional, Aragonez, Syrah, Merlot from Alentejo, Portugal.
Planted in the clay-schist and sand soils, with low production potential, the Vicentino’s grapes bear their best attributes. The low productivity imposed by the soil enhances the quality of the grapes, promoting an optimum mix of organic acids, sugars and phenolic compounds. The achievement of this balance between quality and quantity, together with the mild climate allows to aim for excellency.
Taste Profile: With a dark ruby colour, this wine presents a balsamic aroma, with ripe red fruits but with vegetal character, combined with hints of black pepper. In the palate it shows its freshness, with volume and a final taste of charming salinity.
Winemaking Process: Handpicked grapes put into 15kg boxes. Careful selection of the best grapes upon arrival at the winery. After destemming the grapes, they fermented at a controlled temperature for 8 days, followed by a prolonged maceration period that varied between 1 and 3 weeks. Part of the wine aged in French oak barrels for 10 months.
