Description
Wine & Soul Guru 2019
Wine & Soul Guru is a very seductive and elegant wine. The nose exhibits aromas of white flowers, grapefruit, lime and a beautiful mineral touch. Very long on the palate with great texture and aftertaste.
Ageing potential: Cellar for 7 years.
A field blend of 25% Viosinho, 25% Rabigato, 25% Códega do Larinho and 25% Gouveio. The fruit comes from 58-year-old schist soil vineyards located on north facing slopes at 600 meters in the Duoro region.
Harvesting of the fruit in the first week of September in perfect weather conditions. The grapes go through a selection and partial destemming, then pressing in a pneumatic press. Fermentation at low temperatures in French oak barrels (10% new) for 4 weeks. The wine then ages for 7 months with battonage.
