About this Wine

Tasting Notes

Red color with shades. Delicate aromas of nuttiness and notes of dried fruit and ripe plum. Excellent balance in the mouth. It reconciles age with freshness. Served slightly chilled, it’s perfect on its own, or paired with pecan pies and rich desserts.

Vinification

Harvest to 20 Kgs boxes and selection of the grapes before they go to the mills. Fermentation with maceration of the skins to extract the best constituents was done in the old granite mills with foot treading. Addition of brandy. Aged in oak casks and casks for 10 or more years.

Producer

Companhia das Lezírias

The history of Companhia das Lezírias begins in 1836, but the first vineyard was only planted in 1881. Bernardino Cincinato da Costa, an unavoidable personality in the history of vineyards and wine in Portugal, was director of the company between 1905 and 1930, a period in which he studied and published the guide to Portuguese grape varieties.

The 130 hectares of vineyards of Companhia das Lezírias are located in the heart of the protected area of the Tagus estuary, with about 30% of old vines, the vineyards have the Portuguese grape varieties occupying their largest area (Fernão Pires, Arinto, Vital among other whites and Castelão, Moreto, Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca or the nationalized Alicante Bouschet among other reds).

From the ABC 2020 Commitment to the ABC 2030 Commitment: In 2013, Companhia das Lezírias established a commitment to sustainability in the production of its wines, implementing the basic principles of a green economy.

It means doing better, with a lower environmental impact, less energy and material consumption, less water consumption, less emissions into the environment, less waste production, and more respect for the Planet.
