Bojador

Bojador is a personal project of Pedro Ribeiro. Started in 2010, he focuses on the Vidigueira sub-region of Alentejo. Unlike most of the other mass produced wineries in the area, he intends to make wines that are expressive of the region

Description

Grape Varietals & Region: A blend of Alicante Bouschet, Touriga Nacional and Aragonez from Alentejo, Portugal

Taste Profile: Deep ruby colour. Exuberant aroma and fruits of the forest. Round tannins and good volume in the mouth.

Winemaking Process: Manual harvesting. In the winery, the grapes were selected on a sorting table, with total degraining and slight crushing of the berries. Fermentation took place in stainless steel vats at controlled temperatures. Aged for 6 months in French oak barrels
